Following the Club World Cup final, President Donald Trump claimed that FIFA left the tournament trophy at the White House as a gift. What to know:
In July 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said he had kept the real 2025 FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself and the winning club, Chelsea, was given a duplicate of it.
