Second FIFA Peace Prize posthumously awarded to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

FIFA has paid a touching tribute to recently-deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by posthumously awarding the former Iranian leader the second FIFA Peace Prize.

The former Supreme Leader will receive the peace prize during this year’s ceremony, where current recipient Donald Trump will graciously hand over the award.

“It’s only right that he should receive the award,” said FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

“This is an extremely prestigious peace prize and we’ve thought very carefully about who should receive it. With his numerous human rights abuses, terrible treatment of women and violence against civilians, we couldn’t think of a better person to follow on from President Trump. 

“We’re sure President Trump will be a complete gentleman when it comes to giving up his FIFA Peace Prize. We in no way believe he will give a furious three-hour speech to his supporters a few days before the transition of the award which will lead to a violent insurrection of the FIFA head offices.

“We don’t expect that to happen one bit. He will be as gracious as ever.

“Now, obviously Ali Khamenei won’t be able to collect the award himself, so we’ve decided to let the runner up Kim Jong-Un say a few words on his behalf. He has a missile test around 6pm, but we should be able to get the show going by 8:30 at the latest. It’s going to be so much fun.

“We look forward to seeing you all at the award ceremony in what’s left of Tehran.”
