During the FIFA Club World Cup, a contentious post-match brawl erupted just as President Donald Trump prepared to present awards and medals. The incident occurred after Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, with Trump in attendance. The altercation, involving Paris Saint-Germain’s coach Luis Enrique and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, resulted in players and coaches stepping in to diffuse the situation before the trophy ceremony began.
Trump was also seen in a box with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his wife, Leena Al Ashqar, as he strengthened ties with FIFA through initiatives like the White House Task Force for the 2026 World Cup, highlighting the event’s potential economic impact on North America.
