beautiful football games
FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.
football impact important
It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.
country russia issues
Perhaps we could revisit the issue of World Cup Host selection for 2018/2022 as some countries feel, and we did say, they are more suitable. Russia was the only high risk location for 2018 and racial chanting is rife there but a Mr. R. Abramovich paid a significant fee to fund the voting proceedings and, not to be discriminatory, we would have to see the same thing from any England/Spain representatives wishing to have another vote.
player league association
It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.
doe problem no-problem
I have no problem with G14. How can I oppose something that as far as I am concerned, does not exist?
football numbers competition
The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.
football what-matters matter
What matters to me more than anything is that when all of this is over, football is the winner.
country rights depth
Any country if you go really, really in depth somewhere, the human rights are not totally respected.
important world cups
The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.
football long upset
As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous, is when clubs accept fools.
sports mountain goats
I am a mountain goat that keeps going and going and going, I cannot be stopped, I just keep going.
country football stars
Football is hope. To be a better human being but also hope one day, one day, to leave your country to be somewhere, let's say admired, as a football star.
behave asks
You cannot ask everyone to behave ethically.
president
I am the president now, the president of everybody.
