  • US President Donald Trump will attend the World Cup final with his pal Gianni Infantino, the Fifa boss said Tuesday.

  • "We will be together with the president, enjoying the final, and handing the trophy to the winner together,” Infantino said, adding, “We are together all the time."
  • Trump has yet to attend a World Cup event after the tournament launched on June 11 despite the US being a co-host.
