Loris Karius’ TV presenter wife Diletta Leotta was spotted attending the opening game of the 2025 Club World Cup.
The tournament got underway this weekend for the first time in its new format, with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami being held to a draw on home soil by Egyptian side Al-Ahly.
While the opener ultimately ended goalless, the various celebrities in attendance were treated to an action-packed game that was almost punctuated by a last-second goal from the Argentinian.
One of those watching on was Leotta, who shared a series of snaps from the game to her nine million followers on Instagram.
Leotta, famed in her native Italy for her work covering Serie A on DAZN, could also be seen interviewing FIFA president Gianni Infantino prior to the game.
The 33-year-old has two children with former Premier League goalkeeper Karius, and the pair tied the knot in a private ceremony in Sicily last year.

Karius opted for a tuxedo with a white jacket, whilst his wife donned a Atelier Eme veil emblazoned with the phrase ‘All I ever wanted’.
The pair exchanged vows in front of a stunning view of the Tyrrhenian Sea alongside their daughter Aria.
Leotta previously implored then-Newcastle goalkeeper Karius to consider her homeland as his next career destination so he could be closer to her and their daughter, and even suggested a potential club for him to join.
‘Loris has people at his side who work for him,’ she told Italian newspaper Tuttosport in 2024.
‘I hope he makes the best decision for his career.
‘I live in Milan, so let’s say being close to Milan would be ideal for us.
‘I always tell him, players who come to Serie A then fall in love with Italy and often stay there forever. I think that could happen to him too.
‘[He should join] Monza or any other team in Italy. I would be happy if he came to Italy to play near his family.

‘Newcastle is very inconvenient because there are no direct flights. Neither about Paris nor about Amsterdam.’
Despite her hopes, a move to the Mediterranean was ultimately not forthcoming for Karius, and he instead returned to Germany after a stint as a free agent to join second-tier Schalke.
Initially arriving on a short-term deal in January, Karius made four league appearances for the club before being ruled out for the remainder of the campaign through injury.
The 31-year-old subsequently signed a two-year contract extension earlier this week, keeping him at the club until 2027.
