Donald Trump revealed that FIFA officials gifted him the original Club World Cup trophy, which he keeps in the Oval Office.
Trump stated that FIFA made a new trophy for the competition, meaning Chelsea received a replica after their victory in the final.
During the final at MetLife Stadium, Trump was booed by spectators and later presented medals to the players alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Trump also joked about issuing an executive order to change the name of 'soccer' to 'football' in the US.
Chelsea players expressed surprise that Trump remained on stage with them during their trophy celebrations, contrary to their expectations.
