A viral image shows that the FIFA Club World Cup trophy is still inside the Oval Office. But is it the real trophy or just a replica? Here’s the fact check.

Volunteers whose applications are successful will be invited to attend the Volunteer Team Tryouts, which are expected to begin in October 2025, with training to follow in March 2026. The FIFA World Cup 26 will kick off on 11 June 2026, in Mexico City.

The venue was suggested by Trump's administration, and Infantino fell into line, despite numerous FIFA officials preferring Las Vegas.

Thus, based on the clarifications by FIFA, it could be concluded that the the FIFA Club World Cup trophy in the viral photo is the third replica of the original one that is now in Zurich. FIFA told the BBC that the third replica was given to Donald Trump as "recognition of the 2025 tournament's exceptional hosts."

The Trump administration’s Club World Cup response demonstrated an important, pragmatic use of executive authority and agency coordination.
