Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to receive the inaugural FIFA Peace Award ahead of the 2026 World Cup draw ceremony in Washington’s Kennedy Center. According to multiple sources, Trump will deliver a brief speech during the two-hour event, which will also be attended by Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the award aims to honor those who promote unity and peace through football, especially in a time of global unrest. Although FIFA has not officially confirmed Trump’s name, insiders told The New York Times that he will be the recipient. The award will be presented annually, starting this year. Human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, have questioned FIFA’s selection process and transparency. The event will feature a performance by the Village People, known for their song popular at Trump rallies, reflecting the former president’s preferences.
