I really enjoyed watching the historic first halftime show of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final together with world leaders and dignitaries, whose support was invaluable in organizing the best World Cup in history.

Former President Trump was present for only one match during the recently concluded World Cup: the final between Spain and Argentina. He watched the game from the VIP box at MetLife Stadium in New York, seated with FIFA President Infantino, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Infantino's shared video offered a glimpse into the atmosphere within the VIP box during the match.
