Ankara: The Norwegian Football Association confirmed on Tuesday that it has submitted a letter supporting a complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the awarding of FIFA's Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump. According to Anadolu Agency, Lise Klaveness, the association's head, confirmed to public broadcaster NRK that they support the official complaint of human rights group FairSquare over Trump's peace prize and that they had sent a letter to the world football body over the matter. Klaveness expressed strong criticism of the peace prize awarded to Trump. She asked the ethics committee to "assess whether Gianni Infantino has violated FIFA's statutes for political neutrality, including by awarding the FIFA Peace Prize." The controversy stems from the decision to award Trump the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize last December, which Infantino attributed to Trump's contributions to global harmony.
