FIFA, the international soccer organization, opened an office at Trump Tower in New York ahead of Sunday's Club World Cup final.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino unveiled the winner’s trophy at the building on Tuesday alongside President Trump’s son, Eric Trump and former Brazilian soccer player Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima.
“A big thanks to United States President @realdonaldtrump, @erictrump, as well as the @whtaskforcefifa for all your support of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup, which is uniting the world in peace, happiness, and joy. I also thank all attending FIFA Council members and FIFA Legends for your time today,” Infantino wrote in a Tuesday post on Instagram.
“As New York becomes the capital of world football over this week when we will crown the only official FIFA club world champions, and next year for the FIFA World Cup, I am delighted we will be present to serve our game from this global city,” he added.
The move comes a year after FIFA opened an office in Miami, according to reports from PoliticoEU.
FIFA is hosting both the 2025 Club World Cup and 2026 World Cup finals at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The president is reportedly expected to attend Sunday's Club World Cup final at MetLife stadium in New Jersey, a senior administration official told NBC News.
Infantino said 2.26 million fans from over 168 countries have attended the soccer tournament this week.
“This is what football does — what FIFA wants to do — to bring the world together, and our motto, as well, for this FIFA Club World Cup is to ‘Unite for Peace,’” he wrote in a Monday statement on Instagram.
“We need peace in these troubled times, and we’re all working in this direction.”
The White House is already preparing for the World Cup, set to be co-hosted by Mexico and Canada, by launching a task force for the large event in March.
