“His attendance will cap what has been the most watched, most secure, and most successful World Cup in American history,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing on Thursday.
“This is a fitting conclusion to a tournament that showcased America’s ability to host the world on the grandest stage.”
The US leader will also attend a reception for football’s world governing body FIFA at Trump Tower in New York on Friday, Leavitt said.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino had announced in June that Trump would attend the final in New Jersey and present the trophy to the winners, but it had not been confirmed by the White House.
Leavitt said she did not know whether Trump would be supporting Argentina or Spain, after he criticized the European nation at a NATO summit last week for failing to help with the Iran war.
