The President is expected to present the World Cup trophy to the winning team later.

Trump declined to say who he’s rooting for in an interview earlier, but noted that it’s “very hard to bet against” Lionel Messi and the Argentina national team.

WATCH:

Trump further spoke about the end of the FIFA World Cup, saying he previously thought the idea of hosting the tournament in the US was “crazy” because “We’re not a soccer country.” But “It turns out we are a soccer country,” Trump said, noting that there’s “never been anything like what’s happened with the whole World Cup.”

Per Fox:

President Donald Trump will present the FIFA World Cup trophy to the winner of the match between Spain and Argentina on Sunday, a White House official confirmed to Fox News.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino said last month on “Fox & Friends” that he and Trump would deliver the trophy to the winning team’s captain on the field of New York/New Jersey Stadium.

Infantino also said at the time that Trump would attend the contest. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the president’s attendance “a fitting conclusion to a tournament that showcased America’s ability to host the world on the grandest stage.”

Trump was on stage during the FIFA Club World Cup trophy presentation after Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
