How much do you know about famous awards?
A certain US president received a controversial award from Fifa this year.
US PRESIDENT DONALD Trump has made no secret of his desire to get his hands on a Nobel Peace Prize, but so far he’s had to settle for a newly created Fifa Peace Prize.
The Fifa prize was controversial to say the least, especially because the football organisation did not disclose the process by which Trump was chosen as the “winner”.
The president didn’t seem to let that bother him though.
