FIFA President Gianni Infantino has reiterated the organization’s unwavering commitment to leveraging the global power of football to promote peace. While emphasizing this dedication, Infantino clarified that FIFA’s mandate does not extend to resolving complex geopolitical conflicts or acting as a political mediator.
Instead, the focus remains firmly on utilizing the unique influence of football and major events like the World Cup to foster meaningful dialogue, bridge divides, and encourage understanding among nations. FIFA aims to create a positive impact through sportsmanship and unity, contributing to peace in ways that are within its operational scope.
