Donald Trump Awarded FIFA’s First-Ever Peace Award for Global Mediation Efforts

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been honoured with FIFA’s first-ever FIFA Peace Award, marking the first time the global football federation has presented such a recognition to a world leader. The award was personally handed over by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who praised Trump’s contributions to reducing global conflicts.

According to FIFA, Trump played a “significant role” in easing tensions across eight major international disputes, including efforts to de-escalate India–Pakistan hostilities, support Gaza ceasefire negotiations, and facilitate the Abraham Accords that normalised relations between several Middle Eastern states.

Trump expressed gratitude upon receiving the award, calling it “one of the greatest honours” of his life. He said international acknowledgment of his peace efforts was “encouraging and deeply meaningful.”

Commenting on the Gaza conflict, Trump said the establishment and deployment of an international peacekeeping force remained a critical unresolved issue.

FIFA stated that honouring Trump with the inaugural Peace Award reflects the global recognition of the efforts behind the initiatives often referred to as the “Trump Peace Legacy.”
