According to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, association president Lise Klaveness said the organization supports a complaint from human-rights group FairSquare and has asked FIFA’s ethics committee to determine whether Infantino violated the federation’s rules on political neutrality, particularly in the decision to award the prize.
“First of all, we are strongly critical of the peace prize that was awarded,” Klaveness said.
FIFA announced the peace prize on Nov. 5, 2025, as an honor for people who help unite people worldwide in the cause of peace. In December 2025, Infantino presented the award to Trump during the draw for the 2026 World Cup in Washington.
The decision drew sharp criticism in Norway. National team
coach Ståle Solbakken and Klaveness, both present at the Washington draw,
publicly criticized the move.
