FIFA president Gianni Infantino has discussed his relationship with the United States President, Donald Trump.
Infantino worked closely with Trump in the build-up to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
They have both received criticism for various reasons, including ticket prices, but the event has been a resounding success so far.
Not only have the top players delivered incredible moments, but the atmosphere in and around the stadiums has been great.
While Infantino has already attended several games, Trump is expected to be at the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium.
The FIFA president has now explained his relationship with Trump and whether the 80-year-old will present the trophy.
