Infantino's Controversial World Cup Management and Trump Trophy

Published July 8, 2026 · Updated July 8, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded Donald Trump a meaningless consolation trophy after the U.S. leader missed the Nobel Peace Prize, sparking criticism that he is no longer a mere puppet.

Infantino presented Trump with a visually unappealing trophy as a 'consolation prize' for failing to secure the Nobel Peace Prize, signaling his independence from the U.S. president. This move occurred amidst growing backlash regarding FIFA's handling of the World Cups in Russia and Qatar, where fan and player rights were questioned.

Furthermore, the organization faced criticism over the mistreatment of the Iranian national team and the exclusion of top referee Omar Artan from the tournament. tbzikra.com
