Miami: FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on December 5 in Washington.
The award, called the FIFA Peace Prize, will "recognise exceptional actions for peace," football's governing body said Wednesday.
'In an increasingly unsettled and divided world, it's fundamental to recognise the outstanding contribution of those who work hard to end conflicts and bring people together in a spirit of peace," FIFA President Gianni Infantino (in pic with Trump) said.
FIFA said the award, which Infantino will present this year, will be bestowed annually "on behalf of fans from all around the world."
President Donald Trump, who has a close relationship with Infantino, was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize last month despite lobbying from fellow Republicans, various world leaders and himself. Infantino and Trump were both scheduled to speak at an unrelated event in Miami on Wednesday.
FIFA recently added another link to Trump by appointing his daughter Ivanka to the board of a $100 million education project part-funded by 2026 World Cup ticket sales.
