Trump kept the $230,000 FIFA Club World Cup trophy—Chelsea got a replica.

The claim that Trump kept the $230,000 FIFA Club World Cup trophy and Chelsea was given a replica is largely supported by multiple credible reports. The core factual components are: 1) Chelsea won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, 2) Trump was present at the trophy presentation and controversially remained on stage, and 3) the original trophy was retained by Trump, with Chelsea receiving a replica. Sources confirm Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain and celebrated their win, but the original trophy was taken by Trump to keep in the Oval Office, prompting FIFA to provide Chelsea with a replica for their celebrations.

While the exact monetary value of $230,000 for the trophy is not explicitly confirmed in the sources, it is widely reported as a valuable gold-plated trophy. The context includes Trump's unexpected behavior during the ceremony, which overshadowed the team's moment and led to public criticism. There is no evidence that Chelsea was denied any official recognition or that this arrangement was against FIFA's rules; rather, it appears to be an unusual but agreed-upon circumstance.

The claim is mostly true but slightly misleading if interpreted as Trump 'stealing' or unlawfully keeping the trophy, as it seems to have been allowed by FIFA officials.
