The FIFA Centennial Order of Merit medal presented to Pelé in 2004. The gold tone medal features the FIFA globe emblem with lettering that reads "FIFA Centennial/ Fédération Internationale de Football Association/ 100 Years/ 1904 - 2004/ Order of Merit." A blue and yellow ribbon is affixed to the clasp at the top of the medal. "In 2004, a new accolade brought me joy and surprise. I was in Santos, and a director from FIFA called me. He said that I was once again chosen to receive a FIFA medal. It was the 2004 FIFA Centennial Award. FIFA had previously honored me as the Player of the Century, but this was the 2004 award, my last FIFA honor, acknowledging everything that I had done for this sport. It’s a huge responsibility.
