U.S. President Donald Trump has been awarded the new FIFA peace prize at the 2026 World Cup draw for what the sports governing body says are his efforts to work toward peace around the world, giving the soccer spectacle to set matchups for the quadrennial tournament even more of a Trumpian flair.

The president wore a medal around his neck and stood near a gold trophy on stage that depicted hands holding up the world and bore his name.

Trump, who has openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Price, had been heavily favored to win the newly created FIFA prize.

He and FIFA president Gianni Infantino are close allies, and Infantino had made it clear that he thought Trump should have won the Nobel for his efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza.

Trump thanked his family and first lady Melania Trump as he accepted the FIFA peace prize.

He also thanked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for their “coordination and friendship and relationship.”

“But most importantly, I just want thank everybody,” Trump continued.
