Background

FIFA announced the creation of a peace prize to be awarded for the first time at the World Cup draw on December 5, with FIFA President Infantino presenting the award annually on behalf of fans from around the world. Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize last month despite lobbying from fellow Republicans, various world leaders and himself. Infantino, who has a close relationship with Trump, would not confirm whether Trump will be the first recipient, stating "On the 5th of December, you will see." FIFA recently appointed Trump's daughter Ivanka to the board of a $100 million education project part-funded by 2026 World Cup ticket sales..
