FIFA is under scrutiny after awarding U.S. President Donald Trump its inaugural Peace Prize last month, just weeks before the United States launched a military strike on Venezuela, capturing President Nicolas Maduro. The award, presented by FIFA President Gianni Infantino at the 2026 World Cup draw, praised Trump's leadership but now draws backlash amid the geopolitical escalation. Critics question FIFA's political neutrality as the World Cup approaches.
