President Donald Trump was awarded the very first FIFA Peace Prize on Friday at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., during the World Cup final draw.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino gave Trump the award, which included a trophy of golden hands holding a soccer ball. He was also awarded with a medal that he put on almost immediately.

"The FIFA Peace Prize is presented annually on behalf of the billions of football-loving people from around the world to a distinguished individual who exemplifies an unwavering commitment to advancing peace and unity throughout the world through their notable leadership and action," a certificate awarded to Trump read.

"This is truly one of the great honors of my life," Trump said. "Beyond awards, Gianni and I were discussing this, we've saved millions and millions of lives… The fact that we could do that, so many wars we were able to end, in some cases, a little bit before they started, we got them done."

TRUMP SAYS US READY TO HOST WORLD CUP, WILL 'TAKE CARE' OF CRIME IN HOST CITIES

In March, Trump signed an executive order establishing the task force for the soccer tournament, which will be hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Trump serves as the chair of the task force, while Vice President JD Vance serves as the vice chair. As the executive director, Rudy Giuliani's son was tasked with managing and overseeing daily operations. 

The United States is home to 11 of the 16 host cities.

The president previously threatened to move games out of cities if they were deemed unsafe, but after arriving at the Kennedy Center on Friday, he reaffirmed his confidence in the security of those cities and vowed federal support if needed. 

The championship match will take place on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The international tournament, spanning North America, will begin in June 2026 and is the first World Cup in more than two decades to take place in multiple countries.

"A sudden, senseless loss carries a kind of pain that defies understanding," Siena University president Chuck Seifert said in a statement. "It’s hard to imagine anyone more universally loved and admired than Liam. Our community was blessed by Coach Gleason’s life."

Gleason’s family started a GoFundMe to help "ease the burden" on his wife and three children as they navigated the tragedy.

"The Gleason family has suffered the most unimaginable tragedy with Liam suffering a traumatic brain injury," the GoFundMe read. "Anyone who knows him knows what a light he is in this world. Liam is the best father, husband, brother, son, brother-in-law, uncle, coach, and friend. His heart is as big as his 6’5 frame, and the love he gives to those around him is immeasurable.

"Liam’s wife, Jaclyn, and their three beautiful children — Kennedy, Penn, and Tate — who now face a long road of emotional and financial challenges in the weeks, months, and years ahead."

Gleason coached at Siena for the last seven seasons and was named the conference Coach of the Year in the MAAC and the Eastern College Athletic Conference this past season. Siena was 11-5 overall and earned its first national ranking in 14 years.

The New York native played college lacrosse at the University of Albany.

Officials said his funeral will be Saturday on Siena’s campus.

A viral TikTok trend, known as the "door kick challenge" or "door knock challenge," led to the arrests of three Florida teenagers.

According to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office (SJSO), the teens were arrested on Nov. 23 for loitering and prowling. One is 13 and two are 14.

Viral video from the "challenge" was captured on the home's security system. The footage captured the homeowner calling police to report that someone was "attempting to kick their door in."

In 911 call audio, the homeowner told police that the individuals did not appear to have weapons, but her husband had his weapon "in his hand in case they come back."

HOMEOWNERS TERRORIZED IN VIRAL CHALLENGE AS POLICE WARN PRANK COULD TURN DEADLY FOR TEENS

Deputies responded to the property and located three teenagers dressed in dark clothing and gloves, hiding near the victims’ home.

"Show me your hands! How old are you?" one deputy was heard asking the three teens.

"Fourteen," two said.

"Thirteen," the third suspect said as they were ushered into the police SUV.

A deputy was then heard asking the teens if they wanted to "catch a felony today."

"What the hell are you guys doing out here acting like this?" the deputy asked.

"Just being stupid," one teen responded.

"You guys want to get shot by a homeowner when you're kicking their front door, and they think you're breaking in to kill them?" an officer was recorded asking the teens in body camera footage. "Because it will be justified. They don't even go to prison, and you're six feet under."

HOMEOWNER ARRESTED AFTER ARMED CLASH WITH TEEN PRANKSTER: REPORT

According to SJSO, the teenagers went to multiple homes in the neighborhood, causing damage to the front door of one of the homes.

The three teens were arrested and charged with loitering and prowling. SJSO said that due to the damage caused to the front door of the homes, one of the teens was also charged with criminal mischief.

"This ‘challenge’ is not a harmless prank. As you heard in the audio, the complainants were armed, waiting at the front door to shoot the possible intruder. Participating in this criminal act has serious and possibly life-changing consequences," the department said.

"Parents and guardians – please talk to your children and teenagers about the dangers of this behavior," they said. "SJSO will not tolerate any participation in these challenges. We are prepared to arrest and charge individuals involved, regardless of age."

The "door kick challenge" has spread on social media, with participants – mostly teenagers – aggressively banging on random residential doors, often at night, then running away.

Though reminiscent of the traditional "ding-dong ditch" prank, this challenge has escalated to significant property damage and caused police departments across the country to warn teens of the potentially dangerous consequences.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the SJSO for comment.

"[The] pressure... [about] kids, and should I have more, and why haven’t I, and all of that, which is a really loud noise. Biology is incredibly cruel on women in that decade – that’s the headline, or it certainly was for me."

"Then I got to 40, and I froze some eggs," she added. "Having been really focused on the need to have another baby, I’m just like, if it happens, it happens. That kind of existential threat has dissipated."
