President Trump handed out trophies and medals after Chelsea beat PSG 3-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup final. But there was one awkward moment on stage.

Chelsea lifted an imitation of the Club World Cup trophy — because the original is permanently housed in the Oval Office after being gifted to Donald Trump. The US president has revealed that he was given the trophy by FIFA president Gianni Infantino during a visit to the White House in March.

We all saw what happened when Chelsea won the 2025 Club World Cup on Sunday at MetLife Stadium: There was President Donald Trump standing up there with the winning team and star Cole Palmer looking very confused as to why he was up there. Nonetheless, Chelsea celebrated, and all was done there, right?

Now, the original Club World Cup trophy is not with FIFA - but with Donald Trump in the White House. In an interview with DAZN before the final, Trump revealed that the original trophy was given to him by the FIFA president Gianni Infantino in March.

I knew he was going to be here, but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused."

After the match, which Trump called “a bit of an upset” in a post-game interview, Trump was asked if he could issue an executive order to rename soccer “football” in the United States. Despite the let-down match, Trump lit up when a reporter suggested penning a new executive order officially renaming soccer “football” in the US.
