Trump Receives World Cup Trophy Before Final

US President Donald Trump became one of the main highlights of the World Cup final even before the initial whistle. The president was presented with the original World Cup trophy in the VIP authorities' box by Ronaldo Nazário in a viral image that drew attention for occurring before the official ceremony on the field.

The incident marked another instance where FIFA appeared to bypass its own protocol, as the trophy presentation traditionally takes place during the official pre-match ceremony on the pitch, not in the VIP box. palladian.co.za
