The Weird Spectacle of the World Cup Draw
In early November, when FIFA, soccer’s governing body, announced a new annual Peace Prize to honor those who “have helped to unite people all over the world in peace,” the news was regarded as farce. Given that Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, had recently expressed his displeasure that President Donald Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize—and because the FIFA award seemed to have been concocted on the spot—there was no doubt about the intended recipient. But it turns out that the FIFA Peace Prize isn’t only a joke; it’s also a trophy, a certificate, and a medal. On Friday, during the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C., Infantino officially presented the award to the man he has called his “close friend,” Trump. After showing Trump the oddly gruesome trophy—which somewhat suggests the undead rising from the grave—Infantino reached out to help Trump put on the medal. “Let me hold—” Infantino said, while extending his hand, but Trump ignored it and medalled himself. The FIFA chief gushed, “Ah, fantastic!”
