About 48 hours before the final, Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino declared the U.S.-hosted World Cup a success at a reception in New York.
Infantino said 7 million fans have attended matches so far and billions more have watched on television, calling the tournament one that exceeded expectations.
The United States hosted games in 11 of the 16 venues, including all quarterfinals, both semifinals and the final at MetLife Stadium.
Trump and Infantino are set to attend Sunday's final and hand the trophy to either Spain, seeking a second title, or Argentina, chasing the first repeat championship since Brazil in 1962.
