"In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it's fundamental to recognise the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace. Football stands for peace, and on behalf of the entire global football community, the FIFA Peace Prize Football Unites the World will recognise the enormous efforts of those individuals who unite people, bringing hope for future generations."
"The 42 teams that have already qualified, plus the six as-yet-undetermined teams who will make their way through the play-offs in March, will all discover which of the 12 groups they will be placed into and, crucially, who they will be facing at next summer's tournament. But of course, it wouldn't be a draw for a major tournament if they didn't significantly pad out the schedule with a phenomenal amount of absolute guff...hence Trump's involvement."
Donald Trump will speak at the 2026 World Cup draw and will receive FIFA’s inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, Football Unites the World, during the event. The draw will assign the 42 already-qualified teams plus six playoff winners to the 12 World Cup groups, determining opponents for next summer’s tournament. FIFA framed the prize as recognising contributions to ending conflicts and uniting people, describing football as standing for peace and offering hope for future generations. The prize will be presented at the World Cup draw on Friday afternoon, providing the president an opportunity to deliver a speech.
