The FIFA Fair Play Award is a FIFA recognition of good or sporting behaviour or other actions by people or bodies involved in Association football around the world. First awarded in 1987, it has been presented to individuals (including posthumously), teams, fans, spectators, football associations/federations and even entire footballing communities. One or more awards are presented annually, with there being at least one recipient each year except in 1994, when no award was presented.
In 2010 Football Association of Ireland refused the offer of a Fair Play award following the France v Rep of Ireland 2010 World Cup Play-off handball controversy. CEO of the Football Association called Sepp Blatter "an embarrassment to himself and an embarrassment to FIFA" for his handling and comments following the controversy.
