A coalition of artists, community organizers, and advocacy groups is planning a protest during the World Cup trophy presentation at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026. The protest will involve handing out referee-style 'red cards' to fans, directing them to raise these cards during the trophy presentation, which will feature President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The cards carry the message 'Unitas Mundi,' criticizing Infantino for his perceived support of Trump and his policies. This protest comes amid scrutiny of Trump's influence in FIFA decisions, including a recent incident involving U.S. player Folarin Balogun. The final match is expected to attract around 80,000 fans.
