The council has asked its Football Social Responsibility Committee to examine how the award came about in the first place and whether it should have gone to Trump at all.\n\nThe 23-member committee is chaired by Myanmar Football Federation president Zaw Zaw, with former Argentina and Inter Milan defender Javier Zanetti serving as his deputy. Their brief covers not just the process behind the original decision but also whether the prize should keep being awarded going forward, and if so, under what criteria.\n\nFIFA created the award last November, describing it as recognition for people who, through sustained commitment and concrete actions, help unite people around the world in peace. Trump remains the only person to have received it so far.\n\nThe review comes shortly after Trump was again passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize. The committee is expected to report its findings in December.","published_at":"2026-10-17T05:34:53.087177+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Front Office Sports","publisher":"Front Office Sports","title":"FIFA to Reconsider Peace Prize After Trump Received Inaugural Award","url":"https://frontofficesports.com/article/fifa-reconsider-peace-prize-trump-inaugural-award/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"FIFA Peace Prize could be scrapped a year on from Donald Trump win","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7695724/2026/10/16/fifa-peace-prize-scrapped-donald-trump/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FIFA panel to probe Trump peace prize, decide whether to scrap award","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fifa-panel-probe-trump-peace-190458741.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FIFA to Reconsider Peace Prize After Trump Received Inaugural Award","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fifa-reconsider-peace-prize-trump-172828138.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"FIFA reconsiders controversial ‘Peace Prize’ it gave Donald Trump","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/fifa-reconsiders-controversial-peace-prize-012322842.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2025-12-06T024847Z_2022373355_MT1USATODAY27750283_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-FIFA-WORLD-CUP-2026-FINAL-DRAW-scaled-e1792171558446.jpg?quality=80&w=1024","credit":"Front Office Sports","width":1024},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
