FIFA will present championship rings to winners of Sunday's World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, marking the first time the tradition has been adopted for soccer's premier tournament. Thirty rings will be awarded to the winning team, with an additional 1,996 available for fan purchase. Each ring features a miniature World Cup trophy and custom engraving.

President Donald Trump is confirmed to attend the final and will present the trophy, according to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Trump has not attended any of the tournament's 102 matches to date, including all U.S. games before the team's elimination in the round of 16. The winner rings tradition mirrors practices in American professional sports, particularly the NFL's Super Bowl championship rings.
