The scenes at MetLife Stadium on Sunday were absolutely extraordinary on every level. The concerns were real, with ticket prices plummeting ahead of the Chelsea vs. Fluminense semi-final, and only about 35,000 people showing up. Many believed things might go badly in the finals. However, fans smashed expectations like Chelsea smashed PSG’s CBC dreams. And another surprise was POTUS Donald Trump showing up and taking part, which led to Chelsea skipper Reece James’s confession.
News of President Trump attending the FIFA Club World Cup final surfaced the moment he landed in New Jersey. “President Donald J. Trump and the First Lady touch down in Teterboro, New Jersey, en route to the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium,” reported Rapid Response 47 on X. However, there’s something the Chelsea captain didn’t see coming.
“I wasn’t expecting him to lift the trophy with us, but I guess it shows just how big the tournament is,” Reece James said, as per talkSPORT International’s Premier League commentator Ben Jacobs. While Donald Trump also attended the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off final, this time he participated in the award ceremony alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
“He just congratulated me and the team and told us to enjoy the moment,” James added about what President Trump told him and the Chelsea squad in front of 81,118 fans. It was truly a special moment for the Chelsea captain and the rest of the team. Naturally, a snapshot of the moment went viral, showing the POTUS celebrating alongside the English team.
