On 9 October 2025, Mr Infantino publicly lobbied for President Trump to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025. On his Instagram account he wrote:

Congratulations to the USA and President Donald J. Trump, Qatar, Egypt, Türkiye and all the countries that collaborated to make the ceasefire and agreement on the first phase of the peace process in the Middle East happen. Peace is great news and is giving new hope for all. Everyone around the world should now fully support this peace process. President Donald J. Trump definitely deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his decisive actions.

This is a clear personal endorsement of President Trump’s intervention in a highly contentious political situation that breaches the duty to remain politically neutral as outlined in article 15 of the FIFA Code of Ethics.
