    Default FIFA awards Trump the inaugural Peace Prize




    President Trump on Friday became the first recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize, a newly created award from global soccer’s governing body.

    “This is truly one of the great honors of my life,” Trump said after receiving the award during a ceremony at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

    FIFA announced the creation of the award — which is designed to recognize “individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace” — in early November. Trump was immediately considered to be a strong candidate to win the prize because of his close relationship with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his vocal belief that he deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

    "We want to see hope, we want to see unity, we want to see a future,” Infantino told Trump during the event on Friday. “This is what we want to see from a leader, and you definitely deserve the first FIFA Peace Prize.”

    Trump couldn't get the Nobel one so he forced FIFA to make up one for himself. He even awarded himself.

    "Take that, Obama!" I guess?

    this is like those JD Power awards that RAM or Chevy would gift itself every year.

    "JD Power's Most Excellent Truck of the Year"

    it was a yearly thing for them, while they remained being shit in terms of durability all the while. Trucks that wouldn't even make it to 50,000 miles without major repair issues. But I guess that's why they worded it "initial quality". terrible resale value as well.

    Trump has finally won a peace prize. Not from Nobel, but from FIFA. But why is a football authority giving a peace prize? That’s like the Nobel Peace Prize committee suddenly deciding to award “Footballer of the Year.”

    According to reports, the prize was never discussed at the FIFA Council or with FIFA Vice Presidents, none of whom had any input into the selection criteria before its creation in October 2025. It seems the FIFA President created this award solely for Trump.

    This all came as a surprise to the FIFA Council of 37 members, which is chaired by Infantino, as well as eight vice-presidents, and 28 other members elected by the member associations. Multiple sources familiar with the process, all of whom wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships, said the Council and FIFA’s vice-presidents were not consulted or involved in the creation of a FIFA peace prize and that it was not discussed at the prior FIFA Council. They have also not had input into the selection criteria for deciding a recipient. Some found out via a media release.
    In awarding the prize, Infantino told Trump it was a “beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go.” Trump promptly placed the medal around his neck. The certificate that Infantino handed Trump recognizes the U.S. president for his actions to “promote peace and unity around the world.”

    Trump thanked his family, including his wife, first lady Melania Trump, and praised the leaders of the other two host nations — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum — in his brief remarks, saying the coordination with the countries has been “outstanding.”

    “This is truly one of the great honors of my life,” Trump said, adding that “most important, I just want to thank everybody. The world is a safer place now.”
    Trump also added, "I want to thank my mommy, daddy, great pop, and many more for this wonderful sticker I received on this wonderful day on this great Earth. Lets forget about Epstein and Bubba who I blew on multiple occasions."
