Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said that FIFA gave him permission to keep the original Club World Cup trophy forever. According to Trump, FIFA officials told him, “You can have it forever,” and then made a new trophy for Chelsea. Chelsea recently won the Club World Cup by beating PSG 3-0 in the final match.
The famous trophy was designed by Tiffany & Co., a well-known jewelry company, and has reportedly been in the Oval Office since March. FIFA President Gianni Infantino is said to have given the trophy to Trump personally. Many people were surprised to hear that the trophy is now on display in Trump’s office instead of staying with the winning team.
Adding to the surprise, Trump showed up during Chelsea’s victory ceremony at MetLife Stadium. His unexpected appearance on the field caught a lot of attention and raised many eyebrows. Some fans were confused about why Trump was there and why he had the original trophy.
This unusual story has made headlines and sparked debates about whether FIFA would really allow the original Club World Cup trophy to stay with a former president instead of the champion club. So far, FIFA has not given an official statement to confirm or deny Trump’s claim.
