FIFA President Gianni Infantino brought the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy to the Oval Office on 22 August, giving President Donald Trump a rare chance to hold the solid-gold prize. Under FIFA protocol the trophy may be touched only by tournament winners or heads of state; Infantino told Trump, “Since you are a winner, of course you can touch it,” prompting the president to ask jokingly whether he could keep it. The visit highlighted preparations for the 2026 tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Trump noted that the United States “gave a little to Canada” and “a little to Mexico” in allocating matches, underscoring the tri-nation partnership for what will be the largest World Cup in history.
