FIFA’s New Global Peace Prize to Debut in Washington, D.C. Speculation Mounts Over Trump’s Nomination Ahead of World Cup Draw
In a stunning announcement, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has unveiled its newest global honor
The FIFA Global Peace Prize, an award designed to rival the Nobel Peace Prize by celebrating figures who have made significant contributions to global harmony through influence, leadership, or social initiatives.
The inaugural presentation is set to take place in Washington, D.C. next month during the official draw for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The event is expected to attract world leaders, diplomats, and prominent sports figures, as FIFA aims to highlight football’s growing role in diplomacy and peacebuilding.
Amid the announcement, speculation has already begun to swirl around who will receive the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize — with former U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly among the top contenders. Sources close to the organizing committee suggest Trump’s involvement in peace talks during his presidency and his influence on international relations may have caught FIFA’s attention.
While FIFA has not confirmed any names, President Gianni Infantino stated that the award “seeks to honor those who have used their platform to foster dialogue and promote peace across borders.”
Whether or not Trump takes home the inaugural honor, FIFA’s new initiative marks a bold step in merging global sport, leadership, and peace advocacy.
