00:00FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended awarding US President Donald Trump the
00:06organization's first Peace Prize last year stating that he was instrumental in
00:10saving lives during the conflicts such as war in the Gaza. Trump received the
00:15FIFA Peace Prize during the 2026 World Cup draw last year.
00:20Yes we gave him the Peace Prize because because he did he was instrumental in
00:26resolving conflicts in saving lives and saving really thousands of lives and
00:31and to me there is nothing more important than you know stop it stopping
00:37killings and stopping this kind of sufferance. Infantino father say that he
00:43did not support bans and boycotts and will consider lifting Russian bans in the
00:47future particularly at youth level. In the past I never hear this I never hear there
00:54should be a boycott from doing business or there should be a boycott from
01:00political or diplomatic relationships. So why football? Why football? We are
01:08actually by definition the opposite of anything that is boycotting. We have to
01:14unite, we have to bring people together and thanks God you know the vast, vast, vast
01:20majority. I mean these 500 million people want to come to the World Cup. They think
01:26differently and they just want to come and enjoy and spend time with each other.
01:33Infantino father urge football supporters to show up for the FIFA World Cup set to take place in three countries
01:39that is United States, Canada and Mexico.
