(CNN)-- Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, shared on Saturday on Instagram video clips from his meeting with FIFA Council members and presidents of FIFA member associations with US President Donald Trump in New York City.

The clips show the presence of Yasser Al-Mishal, former president of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and FIFA Council member, during the meeting, as his appearance drew attention.

Al-Mishal had resigned from the presidency of the most popular sport's federation in Saudi Arabia after the Saudi national team was eliminated from the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, but he still holds his position with FIFA.

This meeting took place before the conclusion of the World Cup, which featured 48 teams, held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Infantino praised the meeting and the role of the US President in organizing the tournament, sending a thank you message to him.

Infantino added: 'This edition (of the tournament), the greatest and most inclusive, exceeded all expectations, bringing together nearly 7 million people in stadiums, tens of millions in the three host countries, and billions around the world. We all enjoyed the matches with happiness, joy, and peace.'
