U.S. President Donald Trump delivers strong message to the football world

U.S. President Donald Trump hopes the game of soccer can help heal and unite the world over the next 12 months, after witnessing first-hand the special nature of the sport on Sunday.

The 45th and 47th President of the United States was in attendance at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium to witness the FIFA Club World Cup final, bringing to a close a month of extraordinary action played out in his country.

The USA, across 12 venues, hosted 63 matches played between 32 clubs teams from each continent around the globe in what became a celebration and festival of football, with every game live and free on DAZN, the official Club World Cup broadcaster.

While a major tournament in its own right, the newly expanded Club World Cup also acted as a test event for next year's international FIFA World Cup, which the U.S will host in partnership with Canada and Mexico.

Having watched English side Chelsea defeat French outfit Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in Sunday's final, President Trump spoke exclusively to DAZN about how he believes the game can bring a divided world back together.

"The game is about unity, it is about everyone getting together," the U.S President stated on DAZN.

"It is about a lot of love between different international countries.

"This is the most international sport on the planet, so it can really bring the world together."
