The Guardian view on Fifa’s new ‘peace prize’: Gianni Infantino should concentrate on the day job | Editorial

Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, was recently seen congratulating Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, where he praised Trump's peace-making efforts. This has raised eyebrows, especially as FIFA plans to launch an annual peace prize in Washington next month. Critics argue that Infantino should focus on FIFA's core responsibilities, such as addressing ongoing criticisms regarding World Cup ticketing, rather than engaging in geopolitical activities. The editorial suggests that the peace prize may serve as a publicity stunt to enhance Infantino's relationship with Trump, rather than a genuine effort towards peace.
