FIFA President Gianni Infantino has come under intense criticism after presenting a peace prize to former U.S. President Donald Trump during the World Cup draw ceremony on December 5. The move has sparked debate within the global football community, with many accusing Infantino of breaching FIFA’s strict political neutrality rules.
Human rights group FairSquare submitted a formal complaint, alleging that Infantino violated four specific neutrality provisions by honoring a sitting political figure. Critics argue that such recognition undermines FIFA’s commitment to impartiality and could damage the organization’s credibility. The FIFA Ethics Committee has been urged to investigate the matter.

The controversy now places Infantino under scrutiny, with potential implications for FIFA’s governance and its approach to political engagement in global sports.
