US President Donald Trump is expected to be in attendance when the inaugural award is presented on 5 December. 7.53am, 6 Nov 2025 Share options FIFA HAS CREATED a new annual award called the Fifa Peace Prize to be awarded for the first time during next month’s 2026 World Cup draw in Washington. “Football stands for peace, and on behalf of the entire global football community, the Fifa Peace Prize — Football Unites the World will recognize the enormous efforts of those individuals who unite people, bringing hope for future generations,” Fifa president Gianni Infantino said in a statement. The announcement came before Infantino appeared at the America Business Forum in Miami, where US President Donald Trump and Argentine World Cup champion Lionel Messi were also speakers. The recipient of the inaugural award was not revealed, but there was immediate speculation that it could go to Trump, an Infantino ally who is expected to be present at the 5 December draw at the Kennedy Center in the US capital. Advertisement Trump, flanked by Infantino, announced from the Oval Office in August that the draw would take place at the Kennedy Center. Since returning to office for a second term in January, Trump has insisted he deserved the Nobel peace prize for his role in resolving numerous conflicts around the world. But the US president was snubbed by the Norwegian Nobel Committee last month as it awarded the peace prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July. – © AFP 2025 Written by AFP and originally published on The 42 whose award-winning team produces original content that you won’t find anywhere else: on GAA, League of Ireland, women’s sport and boxing, as well as our game-changing rugby coverage, all with an Irish eye.
