To all of you who love me… and to all of you who hate me, I know there are some, I love you. Being FIFA president is an incredible task. I will continue serving FIFA, serving football, all 211 FIFA member countries“, said the leader during his speech after winning the Fifa conference in Rwanda.
In addition, Gianni took the opportunity to say that the changes made to the World Cup and also to the Club World Cup will not be the only ones. The FIFA president highlighted that he will still seek to create competitions to make the entity and world football even stronger and more united. The idea is that everyone has access to one of the most popular sports in society.
“We want to have more regional competitions, between clubs and between national teams. When I hear that there is a lot of football, it’s probably true, but not everywhere. Certainly not in the places where it is needed“, concluded. It is important to remember that FIFA announced on Tuesday, 14, some changes in the World Cup and confirmed changes for the 2025 Club World Cup.
