US EditionUS President Donald Trump named first winner of FIFA peace prize
FIFA awarded Trump its first Peace Prize recognizing his diplomatic efforts to unite people amid global conflicts, following his Nobel Peace Prize snub, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said.
- On Friday at the Kennedy Center, FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to U.S. President Donald Trump, awarding him a gold trophy and medal.
- FIFA announced the prize in November to recognize individuals who take exceptional actions for peace, following President Trump's public campaign for the Nobel Peace Prize after the Norwegian Nobel Committee passed him over.
- Infantino praised Trump's diplomatic efforts and read FIFA's citation as Trump said, `We saved millions and millions of live` while accepting the honor.
- Human Rights Watch has asked FIFA for the prize's criteria but received no response, while critics noted no nominees and senior officials said the FIFA Council was not consulted.
- Next year's World Cup, beginning June 11, 2026, will keep Trump central to preparations amid plans for 16 cities across North America.
