GENEVA, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- FIFA on Wednesday announced the creation of the "FIFA Peace Prize - Football Unites the World," an award honoring individuals whose exceptional efforts for peace have brought people together across borders.
"The FIFA Peace Prize - Football Unites the World will be bestowed on behalf of all football-loving people from all around the world - more than five billion of the world's population. With their daily actions in and for football, all these people contribute to FIFA's motto Football Unites the World as they unite girls and boys, women and men around passion, joy, hope and happiness, and it is therefore only fitting that a special award recognizes a special achievement," read a FIFA statement.
