FIFA Stuns World by Crowning Trump With Explosive and Outstanding ‘Peace Honor’ at High-Stakes World Cup Draw

US President Donald Trump received a distinguished FIFA Peace Laureate during the 2026 World Cup draw held in Washington, D.C., on Friday night, December 5, 2025.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino presented the accolade to Trump in a formal ceremony at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Infantino noted that Trump was chosen “in acknowledgment of his remarkable and unparalleled efforts to foster global harmony and solidarity.”

When Trump stepped onto the stage to claim the honor, Infantino proclaimed, “This belongs to you — this is your peace award,” before adding that a “magnificent medal” accompanied the prize, one he could proudly wear wherever he wished.

The American leader was bestowed with a trophy, a commemorative medal, and an official citation.

FIFA described the Peace Prize as an honour reserved for “figures who advance unity and peace through steadfast dedication and meaningful intervention.”

In a succinct acceptance statement, Trump declared the FIFA Peace Prize to be “one of the greatest distinctions I have ever received.”

He went on to assert that he had “saved millions upon millions of lives — look at the Congo, where over 10 million people had been killed and another catastrophic wave was imminent. India and Pakistan — countless conflicts we helped defuse, in several instances stopping them before they ever ignited.”
