Denounce FIFA's Made-Up 'Peace Prize" for Trump

FIFA just invented a fake “peace prize” to flatter Donald Trump — and the world is calling it what it is: an embarrassment.

This award has no history, no criteria, and no past recipients. It didn’t exist until FIFA President Gianni Infantino conjured it up onstage, claiming Trump had somehow advanced “peace” through the 2026 World Cup. Reporters pressed him on who he consulted before announcing it. He couldn’t name a single global leader.

Tell FIFA President Gianni Infantino: Withdraw the made-up “peace prize” for Donald Trump and stop using global football as a political vanity project.

Human rights groups, athletes, and fans are outraged. Common Dreams reported immediate backlash, while The Nation called the award a “shameless stunt” meant to rewrite reality. USA Today’s coverage shows widespread disbelief from the sports world, which sees this as an insult to people who actually fight for peace through justice and diplomacy.

When powerful institutions fabricate honors for political allies, they undermine public trust and turn global sports into tools of propaganda. The organization responsible for the world’s most beloved game should never manufacture legitimacy for politicians.

But public pressure works. FIFA is notoriously sensitive to global criticism, and sponsors hate reputational risk. If enough of us speak out, we can force Infantino to withdraw this fake award and recommit FIFA to real integrity.

Add your name and demand FIFA reverse this disgraceful decision and restore credibility to the sport billions love.
