Trump Claims that FIFA Club World Cup Trophy to Remain in Oval Office
On Monday, US President Donald Trump claimed that the Club World Cup trophy will remain in the Oval Office.
He added that FIFA made a copy of the trophy that was awarded to Chelsea after their win in the tournament's final on Sunday.
Trump attended the final along with members of his cabinet and FIFA president, Gianni Infantino.
Both jointly presented the trophy to Chelsea captain Reece James, with Trump staying front and center despite the apparent confusion of Chelsea players and the pleading of Infantino.
Infantino unveiled the Club World Cup trophy for the first time in an event at the Oval Office in March, and the trophy has stayed there for all subsequent events in the historic space since.
'I said, When are you going to pick up the trophy? [They said] 'We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one,'' Trump said in an interview Dazn on Sunday.
'And they actually made a new one. So that was quite exciting, but it is in the Oval [Office] right now.'

Zamalek sign Swedish-Palestinian winger Adam Kaied on free transfer - Egyptian Football
Zamalek have signed Swedish-Palestinian winger Adam Kaied on a free transfer, the Egyptian club announced on Sunday. The 23-year-old joins on a three-year deal after the expiration of his contract with Dutch side NAC Breda, where he spent the past two-and-a-half seasons. Kaied made 17 appearances in all competitions last season for Breda, scoring once. Born in Sweden to Palestinian parents, he represented Sweden at youth level before switching allegiance to Palestine, for whom he has earned two senior caps. He becomes Zamalek's fifth signing of the summer following the arrivals of goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman, Angolan winger Chico Banza, and Pharco FC attacking duo Amr Nasser and Ahmed Sherif. The club have also extended the contract of veteran playmaker Abdallah El-Saed for two more seasons and are close to signing NBE midfielder Ahmed Rabie. Zamalek are rebuilding their squad after a disappointing campaign last season, which saw them finish third in the Egyptian Premier League and exit the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals. The new league season is scheduled to begin in August. (For more sports news and updates, follow Ahram Online Sports on Twitter at @AO_Sports and on Facebook at AhramOnlineSports.)

NBE Club sign winger Shalaby from Zamalek in swap deal - Egyptian Football
Egyptian Premier League side NBE Club have signed winger Mostafa Shalaby from Zamalek in a swap deal that will see midfielder Ahmed Rabie move in the opposite direction. As part of the agreement, NBE also acquired right back Sayed Abdallah from Zamalek, while the Cairo giants will gain the services of Rabie ahead of the new season. The 30-year-old joined Zamalek from Enppi in October 2022 but he failed to impress during his three seasons at the club. He made 102 appearances, scoring 15 goals and providing 15 assists. During his spell at Zamalek, Shalaby helped the team win the CAF Confederation Cup, the CAF Super Cup, and the Egyptian Cup.

In a new triumph added to Egypt's equestrian achievements, Egyptian-born rider Abdelkader Said – internationally known as Abdel Said – dazzled the crowds at one of the world's most challenging and prestigious show jumping competitions, claiming the Falsterbo Derby 2025 title in the 1.50m category, held in Sweden, riding his brilliant mare Arpège du Ru. Born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1990, Abdelkader Said began his equestrian journey in Cairo's arenas. Today, he stands as one of Egypt's finest ambassadors in the European sports arena, consistently shining in elite international competitions. A Clash of Giants... and an Egyptian Victory in the Heart of Europe This year's event felt like a déjà vu, as Abdel Said once again faced European champion Steve Guerdat, just like in the 2023 edition – on the same horses and the same course. But this time, the victory belonged to the Egyptian champion, who delivered a flawless round in 45.89 seconds, beating his previous year's time by over six seconds. A Double Victory in One Day Abdel Said didn't stop at this landmark win. On the same day, he also clinched victory in the Grand Prix qualifier, riding Zasou Vom Claashof, outperforming top European names – a clear statement of dominance from start to finish. Abdelkader Said Speaks: 'I chose to go full throttle from the start. Arpège is naturally fast... I wasn't afraid. I was fighting,' Said Abdel commented after the win, met with applause from both the crowd and fellow riders. Who is Abdelkader Said? Egypt's Rider to the World Name: Abdelkader Said Born: 1990, Alexandria – Egypt Beginnings: Started riding in Egypt and shined in Arab and international championships from a young age, representing the Egyptian national team. Professional career: Moved to Belgium to refine his talent, representing it professionally but never hiding his pride in his Egyptian roots. Key Achievements: Winner of Falsterbo Derby 2025 Strong performances in the Longines Global Champions Tour Founder of the professional training club AS Sport Horses in Belgium Rides elite horses such as: Bonne Amie, Zasou Vom Claashof, and Arpège du Ru A Pride for Egyptian and Arab Equestrianism Though he now rides professionally for Belgium, Abdelkader Said has never turned his back on his Egyptian heritage. His pride in his roots shines through in every interview, celebration, and victorious round. He is not just an international champion – he is an inspiring Egyptian icon who proved that ambition starts at home... and can reach the very top. Page 2
