Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino were met with boos when they appeared on the field for the World Cup presentation ceremony, according to reports from the post-match scenes surrounding Spain’s title celebrations.
The ceremony also featured the presentation of runners-up medals to Argentina. During that sequence, Argentina defender Cristian Romero appeared to ignore an attempted handshake from Trump, creating one of the most talked-about moments of the medal presentation.
Attention then shifted to Spain’s celebrations after the final, with Trump reportedly trying to involve himself as the winning team marked its victory. The reaction in the stadium and the awkward moments on the field added a political edge to what is usually a tightly managed trophy presentation.
The episode quickly became a major talking point alongside Spain’s win, with the boos, the handshake snub and the attempt to join the celebrations dominating discussion after the ceremony.
