Trump, Carney, and Sheinbaum to attend 2026 World Cup Final in New York

North American leaders U.S. President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum are set to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The championship match, pitting Spain against Argentina, will take place at New York Stadium in the United States.

President Sheinbaum confirmed her attendance after receiving a direct invitation from President Trump. This marks a significant moment, as it is the first time these three nations are jointly hosting the World Cup. Sheinbaum stated, "I accepted the invitation from President Trump to attend the World Cup final on Sunday." She added, "I decided to attend because it was a direct invitation from the President of the United States. Prime Minister Carney will also be there."

This will be the first World Cup 2026 match attended by both Trump and Sheinbaum. Previously, the Mexican president had opted not to attend 13 matches held in Mexico, citing high ticket prices as a protest. Despite this, she had supported the national team, El Tri, by watching a Round of 16 match with fans.

Prime Minister Carney has already experienced the World Cup 2026 atmosphere, having attended Canada's 6-0 victory over Qatar in Vancouver on June 19. FIFA has confirmed that President Trump will participate in the trophy presentation ceremony following the match, a role he also fulfilled at the 2025 Club World Cup final.
