FIFA launches annual Peace Prize; inaugural winner revealed at World Cup draw

FIFA is introducing an annual Peace Prize to honor individuals or organizations that advance peace through football. The first recipient of the “FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World” will be announced at the World Cup draw in Washington, D.C., on 5 December. FIFA President Gianni Infantino will present the award.

The inaugural FIFA Peace Prize will be presented by FIFA President Gianni Infantino on December 5, 2025 at the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 26 in Washington DC. This market resolves YES if Trump is announced as the recipient. Resolution will be determined by official FIFA announcements and major news sources covering the award ceremony.

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..
