FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Secretary General Fatma Samoura sent a letter to all 32 countries participating in the 2022 World Cup.
Gianni Infantino“Please, let’s focus on football now. We know that football does not exist in a vacuum, and we, like you, are aware that there are many challenges and difficulties of a political nature around the world. But please don't let football be dragged into every existing ideological or political confrontation.
At FIFA, we try to respect all thoughts and beliefs without distributing moral lessons to the rest of the world.
One of the world's greatest assets is precisely its diversity, and if inclusion means anything, it means respecting that diversity. No people, culture or nation is "better" than any other.
This principle is the basis of mutual respect and non-discrimination. And this is also one of the main values of football. So please remember all of this and let football take center stage," Sky Sports quoted Infantino as saying.
