Future in focus as FIFA President stresses Asia’s key role

Zurich: Football’s response to COVID-19, the international match calendar and future competitions were among the topics covered as FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke via video link to the 30th Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Congress. 

 “We have shown strength, unity and solidarity, and this was the only way to cope with COVID, ” said the FIFA President, in thanking the AFC’s executive and members for their support through a difficult year.
“At FIFA, we’ve been able to set up a COVID Relief Fund to the global value of USD 1.5 billion. This is unprecedented, and no other sports organisation is coming anywhere close to that. 
“For me, as well as for all FIFA Council members, it was immediately clear that because we can help we should help. That’s what we have done with the COVID Relief Fund, not just for the professional game but also for the women’s game, for the grassroots game, to keep football alive all over the world because that’s our mission and our task.”
