FIFA president Gianni Infantino awarded his inaugural FIFA Peace Prize to “close friend” Donald Trump at Friday’s 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, D.C.
Trump received the award around 30 minutes into a glitzy show here at the Kennedy Center, before the drawing of teams into World Cup groups for next summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
“This is truly one of the great honors of my life,” Trump said on stage, alongside Infantino. “And beyond awards … we saved millions and millions of lives.”
