          The FIFA peace prize is funny bevause like, I had heard FIFA was corrupt for years, but because I don’t follow football at all, didn’t really know anything about it and to me it could’ve just been exaggeration. Then they come out and do the MOST BLATANTLY corrupt thing ever?

          Surely there are millions of people like me who previously didn’t know if FIFA was corrupt, and who now have no doubt… will that not have consequences?! Insane either way.

          FIFA has announced the introduction of the “FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World” to reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world.

          “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,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
