Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she plans to attend Sunday’s World Cup title game after receiving an invitation from President Trump.

“I received an invitation from President Trump to go Sunday to the final of the World Cup. I made the decision, yes, to go because, well, it’s a direct invitation from the president of the United States,” she told reporters on Friday.

She added that she will be joined by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a soccer fan who has already attended at least one match.

Spain’s King Felipe VI is also expected to attend, along with Queen Letizia and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, fulfilling a promise he made to the Spanish team that he would go if it reached the championship game. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will be there alongside them.

Argentine President Javier Milei is deliberately skipping the final, citing superstition, and said he would watch from home.
