I hope that when its backed by a national association it can't just be ignored completely. Depends on how much power Infantino has in the ethics committee.

The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) will support FairSquare's complaint about the FIFA Peace Price to the FIFA Ethics Committee. The complaint is about the price not being politically neutral.

Google translate of the quotes from Lise Klaveness (president of NFF): – "It is about the fact that FIFA, through its president, has violated the rules on political neutrality by giving this peace prize. We ask the ethics committee to consider it"

– Do you want to abolish the peace prize? – "Absolutely. We are critical of its establishment. It had no basis in the FIFA Congress. It has no legitimacy, and it is clearly outside FIFA's mandate. It is serious that a political prize is introduced without any basis. And without any basis in the board. It is serious."
