Donald Trump Now 1/5 Favourite To Win FIFA’s Inaugural Peace Prize
Donald Trump has emerged as the overwhelming favourite to win FIFA’s new ‘Peace Prize’ with betting sites making him 1/5 to be the first recipient of the award during the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington DC.
The announcement of the FIFA Peace Prize last week sparked immediate intrigue among fans, media, and punters alike.
This new honour aims to recognise individuals who have “taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace” and “united people across the world.”
But what really caught the attention of betting sites was the detail that the first prize will be handed out by FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Friday 5th December 2026 in Washington DC, immediately fuelling speculation that U.S. President Donald Trump could be the first to receive the award.
With political tension rising globally and Trump dominating headlines it’s no surprise that bookies have slashed him into a near-certain 1/5 favourite.

Why Is Donald Trump Favourite?
At first glance, Trump’s name being linked with a Peace Prize might raise a few eyebrows, but this is FIFA we’re talking about, an organisation never far from a political stir.
The key factor is location: the first Peace Prize will be presented in Washington DC, during the World Cup draw, and Infantino himself will be handing it out.
Trump has long claimed credit for the 2026 World Cup being awarded to North America (USA, Canada and Mexico) during his presidency.
He has also been vocal on issues of global diplomacy, including brokering peace deals in the Middle East which are actions that FIFA could choose to frame under the banner of “unity”.
It would also mirror similar awards from other institutions where Trump has been controversially tipped in the past, including multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
What FIFA Said About the Peace Prize
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the award was being introduced to "recognise the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace.”
With the 2026 World Cup aiming to be the most unifying tournament in the sport’s history, FIFA will be eager to tie in global messaging with a recognisable and possibly headline-grabbing name.
FIFA Peace Prize betting markets are now available at select football betting sites, with more bookmakers expected to follow as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
