FIFA Board Launches Investigation into Trump’s Peace Prize, Calls Award ‘Corrupt’
In an unprecedented move, FIFA board members and top executives have announced an official investigation into the controversial FIFA Peace Prize recently awarded to former U.S. President Donald Trump. Sources within the organization claim that none of the board members voted for the award, describing the decision as “corrupt” and made unilaterally by FIFA President without proper consultation.
According to insiders, the award was decided solely by FIFA President [Insert Name], who reportedly consulted only a small circle of top officials rather than the full executive council. This has sparked widespread concern among FIFA leadership about the legitimacy of the prize and the transparency of the organization’s decision-making processes.
“The board was not involved in any discussion or vote regarding this award,” a senior FIFA executive told reporters. “We were blindsided by the announcement. Such a significant honor should reflect the collective voice of the governing body, not the preference of a single individual.”
The Peace Prize, which was introduced earlier this year, was intended to recognize individuals who have made notable contributions to global peace and diplomacy through the world of football. However, critics argue that awarding it to Trump, amid ongoing political controversies, has undermined the credibility of the prize and FIFA itself.
Several board members have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction and called for a formal probe into the process. The investigation aims to determine whether FIFA’s internal protocols were violated and to recommend measures to prevent unilateral decisions in the future.
“The integrity of FIFA’s awards must be beyond reproach,” said another executive. “We are committed to ensuring that all recognitions reflect the collective judgment of the governing body and uphold the values of our organization.”
As FIFA navigates this internal crisis, the global football community is watching closely. Analysts suggest that the outcome of the investigation could have far-reaching implications for FIFA’s governance, including potential reforms in how awards and honors are approved at the highest level.
No timeline has been provided for the completion of the investigation, but insiders expect a report within the coming weeks. Meanwhile, reactions from fans and international officials continue to pour in, with many expressing skepticism about the fairness and legitimacy of the Peace Prize in light of recent developments.
