750 couples tie the knot ahead of FIFA World Cup final

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, 750 couples tied the knot in a unique mass wedding ceremony held in Guadalajara, Mexico, celebrating both their love for each other and their passion for football.

Organized to mark the World Cup final, the event gave football fans a chance to celebrate both their love and their passion for the sport. The brides and groom exchanged their wedding vows together in the fan zone.

Speaking to the media, newlywed bride Carmen said, “We brought our two loves together, our love for each other and our love for football.” Her husband echoed the sentiment as the couple celebrated their special day alongside hundreds of other newlyweds.

On the other hand, US President Donald Trump will attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, where he will present the trophy to the winning team after the title-deciding match between Spain and Argentina.

Trump will join FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the closing ceremony in New Jersey. The final will mark the first time Trump attends a FIFA World Cup match in a stadium.

Earlier in the tournament, Trump made headlines after reports claimed he contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino to request the suspension of a red card issued to US forward Folarin Balogun, sparking debate over transparency and political influence.

Speaking at a FIFA event in New York, Trump described the 2026 FIFA World Cup as “probably the most successful sporting event in history.”

“This has probably proven to be the most successful sporting event in world history. It was truly amazing,” he said. “The tournament has also significantly increased the popularity of football in the United States.”
