FIFA President Infantino addresses G20 and calls for ceasefire during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

G20 Summit : FIFA President Gianni Infantino has made a direct plea to world leaders gathered in Indonesia for the 17th Group of Twenty (G20) summit to call for ceasefire during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ and to begin dialogue as a first step to bring the conflict in Russia and Ukraine to an end.

Addressing assembled heads of state at the intergovernmental forum, which comprises of 19 countries and the European Union, the FIFA President said: “Football is a force for good.

We are not naïve to believe that football can solve the world’s problems. We know that our main focus as a sports organisation is and should be sports, but because Football Unites the World, this particular FIFA World Cup, with five billion people watching it, can be a trigger for a positive gesture, for a sign or a message of hope.”

The FIFA President’s speech recognised the current uncertainty in the world, and identified countries involved in current conflict. “Russia hosted the last World Cup in 2018, and Ukraine is bidding to host the World Cup in 2030,” the FIFA President said, when identifying their 2030 bid together with Portugal and Spain, among other bidders. “Maybe, the current World Cup, starting in five days, can really be that positive trigger.

So my plea, to all of you, is to think on a temporary ceasefire, for one month, for the duration of the FIFA World Cup, or at least the implementation of humanitarian corridors, or anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue as a first step to peace. You are the world leaders; you have the ability to influence the course of history.”

“Football and the FIFA World Cup are offering you and the world a unique platform of unity and peace all over the world,” President Infantino added. “So let’s take this opportunity to do everything we can to start putting an end to all conflicts.”

Mr Infantino was speaking five days before the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup™ begins in Qatar, and the day after football’s global governing body launched the Football Unites the World campaign – in which a host of international stars joined forces to illustrate football’s unrivalled ability to bring people together, a campaign that will run throughout the FIFA World Cup.
