Trump presented the medals to the runners-up, the tournament trophy, and individual prizes to players along with FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Usually, the person who presents the trophy to winning captain walks away when the victor lifts the trophy. However, Trump was met with jeers at the stadium as he joined Chelsea's players for their spotlight moment. Trump arrived there on the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. The displeasure of crowd was also recorded in social media videos.

'Wait, wait, what's he doing?' Palmer told Chelsea captain Reese James before the traditional celebration. 'Are you going to leave?' James inquired Trump before raising the golden-globed trophy. As captain Reese James raised the trophy, several supporters found it hard to believe that Trump was stealing the players' moment. 'I knew he was going to be here, but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused,' Palmer stated, as per The Associated Press. 'I thought he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay,' he added. Chelsea fans react One user commented on X with a picture of Trump smiling next to the team, saying, 'I am crying man, how is this a real image?' The post has received seven million views. 'Love him or hate him, this is legendary. After handing Chelsea the Club World Cup trophy, Trump was supposed to leave the podium. He didn't. Instead, he stayed up there celebrating with the players, just soaking in the win like one of the squad. You can't script this,' another commented. 'This is going down as the funniest trophy lift ever,' a third person stated.

FIFA, players' unions finalise deal on rest standards

The discussions took place on the eve of the Club World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea. 14 Jul 2025 08:40am Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, and US President Donald Trump pose for a photo with video match officials and referees after Chelsea FC won during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Final match between Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain at MetLife Stadium on July 13, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

According to Emirates News Agency (WAM), the discussions took place on the eve of the Club World Cup final between PSG and Chelsea.

(Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP) The tournament, held during the European off-season, has faced criticism from unions, as an increased focus on player welfare has led to calls for mandatory rest periods and a greater emphasis on player safety during matches. Days before the start of the month-long Club World Cup, football chiefs faced renewed calls to safeguard players over growing fears of injuries and burnout. FIFA President Gianni Infantino and other officials from football's governing body met with representatives of players' unions from around the world in New York. FIFA hailed the discussions as "progressive,' adding that players' health is a "top priority.' "There is a consensus that there must be at least 72 hours of rest between matches, and that players should have a rest period/holiday of at least 21 days at the end of each season,' FIFA said. "This period should be managed individually by each club and the respective players, also depending on their match calendars and taking into account applicable collective agreements.' Enforcing a 72-hour period strictly could mean big adjustments to some match schedules and TV deals. FIFA did not indicate how it would work in practice. European teams playing in the Europa League late on Thursday evening routinely play domestic league matches on the following Sunday. With a strict 72-hour break, they might have to wait until Monday to play again. FIFA added that a rest day per week should also be allowed, and that travel demands, as well as climate conditions, will also factor into future competition planning. - BERNAMA-WAM More Like This
