Trump awarded first-ever FIFA Peace Prize at World Cup final draw
President Donald Trump was awarded the very first FIFA Peace Prize on Friday at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., during the World Cup final draw.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino gave Trump the award, which included a trophy of golden hands holding a soccer ball. He was also rewarded with a medal that he put on almost immediately.
“The FIFA Peace Prize is presented annually on behalf of the billions of football-loving people from around the world to a distinguished individual who exemplifies an unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity throughout the world through their notable leadership and action,” a certificate awarded to Trump read.
“This is truly one of the great honors of my life,” Trump said. “Beyond awards, Gianni and I were discussing this, we’ve saved millions and millions of lives… The fact that we could do that, so many wars we were able to end, in some cases, a little bit before they started, we got them done.”
Trump created the World Cup task force earlier this year, as the United States will be home to 11 of the 16 host cities in next year’s event.
The championship match will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
