- We must return to football rightful place. Until changes are needed and appropriate decisions. Everyone here love football, which should be the center of attention of FIFA. This is not the best moment in its history and reputation can only regain giving it a thousand percent – said the Secretary General of the European Football Union (UEFA) during his speech at a press conference at London’s Wembley.
He was accompanied by many celebrities football, m.in . Luis Figo, Fernando Hierro, Roberto Carlos, Diego Forlan and Clarence Seedorf, and the trainers Jose Mourinho and Fabio Capello. Several other granted the Swiss support in the video, aired before his speech.
– The first task is to introduce reforms and good governance. All efforts should be made more transparent, and every expense and revenue – specifically justified. I want to open the door to the FIFA women and men from around the world – that’s why I think that the Secretary General should not be a European. Why do not African? – He asked.
He also reiterated earlier demands to limit the term of office at the most important position within FIFA for a maximum of 12 years, and by extension the World Cup from 32 to 40 teams.
– The impulse increases popularity of football. In addition, more matches means more money that can then invest in the development of football – justified.
The Swiss also acknowledged that he received death threats in connection with the fight against match-fixing under the aegis of UEFA.
– received death threats me and my family. My children must go to school with a police escort because of my actions – he complained.
The election for president of FIFA will take place on 26 February. Infantino has four competitors: the President of the Asian Football Confederation Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa of Bahrain, the Jordanian prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, a businessman and politician Tokyo Sexwale’a of South Africa and Frenchman Jerome Champagne’a.
