As talkSPORT understands, FIFA's credibility does not stand in the way of the American leader breaking the rich traditions of the tournament at the time of the dedication ceremony, which will take place on the 19th of July at MetLife Stadium..

According to the standard FIFA protocol, the World Cup should be placed on a special pedestal, the signs of which are taken by the intervening team, or the officials will quickly hand over the trophy to the captain and leave the room, so as not to spoil.

However, this time the procedure changes: Trump will especially present the main football trophy to the captain of the newly crowned champions of the world. FIFA completely defers to the discretion of the US President the decision: to withdraw the instructions from the graves on stage at the hour of raising the Cup and to go before other honored guests.

Donald Trump had a similar testimony just before the final of the World Club Championship. Then the American president, having lost his place on the podium, sidled up to Chelsea captain Reese James right in the middle at the moment of raising the trophy. This situation called out the song of unrest among the Gravians.

Chelsea striker Cole Palmer has admitted for years: “I knew that I would be present at the match, but I didn’t realize that we were standing right on the podium where we were lifting the cup.. I'll say a little bit of swearing"

It’s cool that, right after the incident, FIFA President Gianni Infantino immediately tried to carefully steer Trump away, but later wanted to lose him from the players.. In addition to the American President, the closing ceremony of the tournament will also include the participation of an official from the Russian Federation, a gift to the championship - Mexico and Canada.
