"This is truly one of the great honours of my life," said US president Donald Trump after receiving the Fifa peace prize
Fifa's ethics committee has been asked to investigate president Gianni Infantino, claiming he broke the governing body's rules on political neutrality in relation to United States president Donald Trump.
Infantino awarded Trump with the inaugural Fifa peace prize at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington DC last week, and has also done social media posts and interviews in support of the 79-year-old.
Human rights campaign group FairSquare has written a letter of complaint, which BBC Sport has seen, alleging Infantino has "committed four clear breaches" of Fifa's neutrality rules.
"The award of a prize of this nature to a sitting political leader is in, and of itself, a clear breach of Fifa's duty of neutrality," the letter stated.
