MEPs Call For FIFA Probe Over Trump Peace Prize. Fifty Members of the European Parliament have called on FIFA to investigate president Gianni Infantino over the decision to award President Donald Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. The lawmakers backed a complaint from the NGO FairSquare, arguing the award may have breached FIFA's political neutrality rules. The complaint claims Infantino created the annual prize without informing the FIFA Council before presenting it to Trump. Irish MEP Barry Andrews said the World Cup should unite people and warned the award risks damaging FIFA's reputation. The MEPs urged FIFA's ethics committee to investigate the decision and demonstrate its commitment to neutrality and transparency. FIFA acknowledged receiving the original complaint in December but has not yet responded to the lawmakers' latest letter. The move follows previous criticism from European lawmakers over FIFA's decision to award the 2034 FIFA World Cup to Saudi Arabia.
