He wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, but now Donald Trump is the first winner of the FIFA Peace Prize. That’s something too. One of the greatest honors of his life, to be precise, or so Trump says. Gianni Infantino, who could eventually receive a sleaze prize, brings the US president a gold medal and a large gold trophy. Trump can now take it with him to the Oval Office, where he already kept the World Cup trophy and the one for the Club World Cup.

The draw for the 2026 World Cup will take place in Washington, DC on Friday evening German time. In the John F. Kennedy Center, which was once founded as a center for art, music and theater, but has been suffering culturally for some time under its new chairman: Donald Trump. For a long time this evening is not about what it should actually be about, namely who will play against whom in 188 days. For a long time it has been primarily a Trump and Infantino show.
