Is FIFA scrapping its peace prize after awarding it to US President Trump?

FIFA is considering scrapping its peace prize, created to reward people for exceptional actions in support of peace. Donald Trump became its first recipient in December 2025, when Gianni Infantino presented him with the award in Washington during the 2026 World Cup draw. Several FIFA Council members are now questioning the prize’s merit and calling for changes, including its abolition. The scrutiny comes as Infantino also faces criticism over a plan to sell stakes in the World Cup.
