Chelsea Claims FIFA Club World Cup Title Amidst Unusual trophy Ceremony Featuring President Trump
In an unprecedented turn of events at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup finals held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New jersey, Chelsea secured the championship title. The post-match ceremony saw an unexpected and prolonged presence of President Donald Trump, who engaged with the victorious Chelsea players, drawing a mix of admiration and bewilderment.
Typically, players depart before the trophy presentation. However, President trump remained, continuing to applaud as Chelsea Captain James lifted the championship trophy. His extended presence and engagement left Chelsea players looking on with apparent confusion.
In commentary following the match, Chelsea player Marc Cucurella addressed the transfer of Noni Madueke, stating, “It was a little strange. In my opinion, Noni Madueke was not starting, but I missed a good chance.” He further elaborated on MaduekeS departure, noting, “Noni Madueke left the team a day before the finals. Of course,it would have made a decision to leave the team before the finals.”
Cucurella also humorously remarked on President Trump’s handling of the winner’s medals, suggesting, “Trump put a medal in his pocket. Perhaps it will be enshrined in the White House.” Video footage captured President Trump placing some of the remaining medals inside his suit jacket.
