Following the month-long tournament, Chelsea players were spotted celebrating on the New Jersey pitch with several notable figures, including FIFA president Gianni Infantino and United States president Donald Trump.

Trump was even on the field to hand out the Club World Cup trophy to the Chelsea players, including superstar goalscorer and Player of the Tournament Cole Palmer.

However, once the Chelsea players were ready to officially kick off trophy celebrations by lifting the title, president Trump remained in the picture and that left the Premier League side very confused by his actions.

With the Club World Cup acting as a dress rehearsal for the real deal in the summer of 2026 with the FIFA World Cup returning to the United States, Canada and Mexico, it's very likely that Trump will be making more appearances at matches in the coming 12 months.
