'I just threw up in my mouth' - Ivanka Trump appearance at FIFA Club World Cup shocks fans after United States President-elect Donald addresses ceremony in video message

<p>The ceremony, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/fifa-club-world-cup-2025-schedule-teams-tickets-format/bltf0f055146b3da38d" target="_blank">taking place in Florida</a>, saw Ivanka draw the ceremonial first pick alongside her son, Theodore, after a video message from the President-elect was played to the audience before the ceremony began. It's fair to say fans on social media didn not react well to the inclusion of such divisive political figures in the Club World Cup draw.</p>

HOW FANS REACTED

<p>Addressing the ceremony audience via a video message, Donald Trump referenced the growth of football in the US, citing his son's enthusiasm for the game and saying he hoped to attend the 2026 World Cup in the USA. He also referred to Gianni Infantino with the bizarre statement: "His name is Gianni. He's the President, and I'm the President."</p>

WHAT TRUMP SAID

<p>Stepping aside from gimmicks like Trump's speech, the Club World Cup draw marked an important moment in Infantino's continual restructuring of global football. There are some fascinating fixtures lined up for next summer's expanded tournament, although it's not yet clear how popular the new-look competition will prove to be amongst supporters.</p>
