Trump is expected to attend the World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 19, according to two sources familiar with the plans, who cautioned that plans could change as the date gets closer.

A White House official confirmed to NBC News White House was “holding it” on Trump’s schedule. He attended the Club World Cup final at the same venue last summer.

Trump is not attending the opening game for the U.S. men’s national team, a break from precedent for past leaders of host nations: The emir of Qatar attended in 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin attended in 2018, and President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil attended in 2014. The U.S. plays its first match tomorrow in Los Angeles.

Trump told reporters this week he plans to go to a game at some point but did not specify which one.
