US President Donald Trump has made headlines once again after revealing that the original FIFA Club World Cup trophy has found a new home inside the Oval Office, following Chelsea’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final match played at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.

In a shocking and unexpected twist, Trump, who was present at the stadium to watch the final live on Sunday, took the opportunity to personally join Chelsea’s players and officials on the pitch during their trophy presentation ceremony. According to Trump, FIFA President Gianni Infantino offered him the original trophy permanently as a special gesture, while a replica version would be prepared and handed over to Chelsea as compensation.

Speaking in an interview with DAZN, Trump excitedly explained how the unique situation unfolded:

“I said, ‘When are you going to pick up the trophy?’”

“[They said] ‘We’re never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We’re making a new one.’”

“And they actually made a new one [for Chelsea]. So that was quite exciting, but right now [the original] is in the Oval.”

While Chelsea fans around the world celebrated their team’s dominant performance and victory over PSG, many were surprised to learn that the official, original FIFA trophy was no longer going to remain with the club. Instead, a brand-new, identical replica has been specially crafted for Chelsea’s trophy cabinet at Stamford Bridge.

It remains unclear whether the two trophies — the original now displayed in the Oval Office and Chelsea’s newly created replica — are exactly the same in terms of craftsmanship, finishing, and details. However, insiders revealed that Infantino had already showcased the redesigned version of the Club World Cup trophy earlier this year during an official visit to the White House, where it caught Trump’s attention and admiration.

According to FIFA specifications, the Club World Cup trophy stands approximately 17 inches tall (about 43 centimeters) and weighs nearly 5 kilograms, symbolizing the global prestige of the competition.

In addition to his trophy comments, Trump also jokingly suggested that he might sign an executive order to officially change the name of “soccer” to “football” across the United States, as the nation prepares to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Mexico and Canada. His comments, while delivered in a lighthearted tone, quickly stirred reactions among fans and sports enthusiasts across the country.

The surprising turn of events has left fans, players, and commentators buzzing, and it remains to be seen how Chelsea will officially respond to receiving a replica rather than the original trophy they fought hard to win on the pitch.
