White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said Thursday that U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain in New York next Sunday.

Trump has not attended any match of the tournament so far, and FIFA President Gianni Infantino had previously confirmed that the U.S. president would be present at the final.

Leavitt added to reporters: "We look forward to the final match on Sunday, and I know the president looks forward to attending it. His presence will be a culmination of the World Cup tournament that has been the most watched, the safest, and the most successful in American history."

Leavitt continued that she does not know whether Trump has a favorite team in the final, but she encouraged reporters to ask him.

She said: "I'm sure he will give you an entertaining answer."

Leavitt added that the U.S. president will also attend a reception hosted by FIFA at Trump Tower in New York City on Friday.
