President Trump received dozens of tickets to otherwise hard-to-attend sporting events such as a World Cup final, the Super Bowl and the Ryder Cup, according to a new federal financial disclosure form released Tuesday.
The 2025 gifts came from Trump’s well-connected friends and political allies, including Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White , along with companies such as Rolex, a U.S. Open sponsor. The head of FIFA, NFL owners and the PGA also forked over tickets.
Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl in person when he flew down to New Orleans last year. His 10 seats to Super Bowl LIX were valued at $50,000 in the filing.

Trump got 10 tickets to the FIFA Club World Cup Final valued at $15,000, according to the filing, which listed FIFA President Gianni Infantino as the source. Trump attended the match and presented the championship trophy to Chelsea. FIFA didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The gifts, which add up to more than $120,000 in face value, amount to something of a footnote in an otherwise lengthy financial disclosure that stretches more than 900 pages. The filing shows Trump received a windfall from his investments in crypto as well as legal settlements.
“President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public,” Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement. “There are no conflicts of interest.”
Trump has made a habit of appearing at major sporting events, most recently an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden in New York. The avid golfer also attended the 2025 Ryder Cup to watch the U.S. team compete with European rivals on New York’s Long Island.
The owners of sports teams or venues were among the sources of tickets, including New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson and Hal Steinbrenner, whose family has owned the New York Yankees since 1973. Representatives for the Saints and the Yankees didn’t immediately comment.
The lowest-priced tickets on the president’s gift list? Five seats to the 2025 NCAA men’s wrestling championship in Philadelphia that were valued in his filing at $1,300.
