Trump was photographed "going around" the Club World Cup championship medal, saying after the game that he took away the real trophy, and the champion team was just a copy

According to the Global Times citing the Independent on the 15th, Chelsea won the Club World Cup championship on the 13th. At the award ceremony, US President Trump was photographed taking a championship medal from FIFA President Infantino and putting it into his suit pocket.

At that time, Infantino was presenting awards to the players and Trump was invited to watch the ceremony. Infantino first reached out to get it back, then gave a thumbs up, as if expressing acquiescence.

This matter has sparked heated discussion on social platforms, and some netizens mocked: Trump "had not even played for a minute." After the game, Trump said that the real Club World Cup trophy was taken away by him and kept in the White House forever, and the champion team only took away the trophy replica.

Previously, according to the Global Network, the 2025 Club World Cup final was staged at the Metropolitan Stadium in New York, USA on the 13th local time. Chelsea in the Premier League finally defeated the French Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 and won the championship. According to media reports such as the British Guardian and USA Today, an "embarrassing scene" appeared at the award ceremony that day: after presenting the awards to the champion team, US President Trump did not leave like other award presenters, but continued to stay on stage to celebrate with the players, which made the Chelsea players beside him feel confused. The Guardian said that when Chelsea won the trophy, Trump stood in the "most conspicuous position". Source: Foreign media
