Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha was handed a philanthropy award last night at the Football for Peace initiative dinner by Global Gift.
Zaha and teammate Mamadou Sakho attended the event, which was organised to support Football for Peace's efforts to promote football diplomacy, understanding and tolerance across the globe.
Wow was not expecting that... thanks @FfP_Global @GlobalGiftGala for having me tonight and for the philanthropist award. I’m proud of what my mum and I have achieved and looking forward to continuing our work in the UK and Ivory Coast 🙏🏿🏆 pic.twitter.com/K3mO6mxWM3
