  "account": "The FIFA committee will examine the Peace Prize, established last year and awarded to President Donald Trump, as part of a broader review of governance decisions made during Gianni Infantino's presidency. The Football Social Responsibility Committee will assess the prize's creation and the decision to award it to the U.S. president. The committee will present its findings and proposal at the next FIFA Council meeting, scheduled for December. The FIFA Peace Prize, considered Infantino's creation, was first awarded to Trump in November 2025 during the 2026 World Cup Draw. Infantino praised the award as one of the greatest honors of his life, while Trump boasted about U.S. achievements and the potential Nobel Peace Prize for himself. However, the decision drew criticism, with FIFA facing scrutiny over the creation of a political prize and the choice of Trump as recipient. The committee will scrutinize the prize's origins, its justification, and potential reforms.",
  "summary": "FIFA's president is again under fire for the award, supposedly motivated by Trump's \"instrumental\" role in promoting world peace.",
