Trump Wins Inaugural FIFA Peace Prize
11 December, 2025
President Donald Trump receives FIFA’s first-ever Peace Prize for his claimed efforts in brokering international agreements, amid some disputed claims.
President Donald Trump has been awarded the first-ever FIFA Peace Prize, recognizing what the organization described as “exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace.”
During his acceptance speech, Trump thanked First Lady Melania Trump and highlighted his role in brokering agreements between nations with long-standing conflicts, including India and Pakistan—although some of these claims have been questioned or disputed by analysts.
FIFA introduced the annual award this year to honor individuals who unite people globally, though the selection process and criteria for the inaugural prize remain unclear.
The award adds to the ongoing debate around Trump’s international diplomacy record and public image, with supporters praising his efforts in conflict resolution and critics expressing skepticism over the accomplishments cited.
