FIFA Reviews Controversial Peace Prize After Trump Award
FIFA is reportedly planning to review its Peace Prize, which was controversially awarded to United States President Donald Trump in 2025. This decision follows a FIFA Council meeting held in Zurich, where the governing body tasked its football social responsibility committee with evaluating the award's future.
The committee, which includes former Inter and Argentina defender Javier Zanetti as deputy chairperson, will determine if the prize should continue, be limited to non-political figures, or be abolished entirely. The award was announced in November 2025 to honor individuals who foster peace and unity globally.
After the meeting, Debbie Hewitt, president of the English FA and a vice-president of FIFA, stated that the committee would explore the implementation and future of the award. The committee is expected to report its findings before the next FIFA Council meeting in December in Doha.
