In case you needed another reason to hate FIFA
check this out:
MIAMI (AP) — FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington.
The award, called the FIFA Peace Prize, will “recognize exceptional actions for peace,” soccer’s governing body said Wednesday.
---------------------
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.

"Award." The latter ought to be feces-dipped as well. If you are going to kiss his ".." then put it all out there.
