In 1967, Pele travelled to Lagos, Nigeria, then in the midst of a brutal civil war, to play an exhibition match. In order to allow both sides of the conflict to see the greatest ever play the game, a 48-hour ceasefire was called and honoured. A single footballer stopped a war.

Then it has to be in WWI on christmas day, when the british and german troops played each other in a friendly game of football(soccer), afterwards they returned to the trenches, and resumed killing each other.
