The Norwegian Football Federation said on Tuesday it had asked FIFA’s ethics committee to look into the world football governing body’s award of a peace prize to US President Donald Trump.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino awarded Trump the inaugural peace prize during the December 6 draw for the 2026 World Cup.
Later that month, human rights group FairSquare filed a complaint to FIFA’s ethics committee, claiming that Infantino had breached his duty of neutrality by supporting Trump.
FIFA has never revealed how it attributed the peace award, which came at a time when Trump and his administration repeatedly pushed for him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
