Will Trump receive this award?
As soon as the award was announced, it has been linked to US President Donald Trump. Trump was in contention for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, but he did not receive that honor. Now, FIFA's new award is being seen as an attempt to appease Trump and acknowledge his active involvement in the 2026 World Cup.
It is particularly noteworthy that the 2026 World Cup will be hosted in the USA next year, making the cooperation of Trump and the US administration crucial for the football event.
FIFA President's Announcement
FIFA President Gianni Infantino, while announcing the award, said, "In an unstable and divided world, it is essential to appreciate those who are working hard to end conflicts and establish peace by uniting people." A statement released by FIFA said that this award will be given on behalf of football fans worldwide. Infantino himself will present this award on December 5.
A deep friendship is believed to exist between US President Donald Trump and FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This year too, both shared a stage at an event in Miami. It is known that Trump was unsuccessful in winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which left him somewhat disappointed. The announcement of this award is being seen as a consolation and a gesture of respect for him.
