00:00The president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino.
00:03FIFA, FIFA, where's Gianni?
00:06What do we want as persons?
00:08We want to be healthy and happy, don't we?
00:12FIFA is official health and happiness provider to humanity
00:18because that's what football is doing.
00:23It's now or never.
00:25Now is the opportunity.
00:26Now we have to take this opportunity.
00:28Now we have to take the turn.
00:30We have to make a better FIFA.
00:34Let's go FIFA.
00:35Let's go FIFA.
00:37Thank you so much.
00:39I think Sepp Batter is presiding over a deeply flawed culture
00:42and for those reasons he should go.
00:44I'm not ashamed.
00:46I regret, but I'm not ashamed.
00:47I think FIFA needs to come back to football
00:50and I think I'm somebody who can bring FIFA back to football.
00:54We will restore the image of FIFA and the respect of FIFA
00:58and everyone in the world will applaud us
01:00and will applaud all of you
01:03for what we'll do in FIFA in the future.
01:06He's not a politician.
01:07He's not a superstar.
01:08I'm very confident he is a right man.
01:12I can say it even more, with more conviction
01:16because I lifted and you lifted.
01:18It is the best World Cup ever.
01:20Today, I have very strong feelings.
01:25Today I feel Qatari, Arab, African, gay, disabled,
01:30a migrant worker.
01:31You can crucify me.
01:33I'm here for that.
01:36We heard as well that financially it would not work.
01:42It would be a flop.
01:44Nobody's interested.
01:45It is already the most successful club competition
01:47in the world from all different measurements.
01:53There is really no downside at all
01:56and there are only upsides.
01:5816 more countries,
02:01some of which probably would never have dreamt
02:03to participate in a World Cup,
02:06will have the chance to participate.
02:0848 national teams will compete in 78 matches
02:12right here in the USA.
02:13104 Super Bowls in one month.
02:18And then, in 2034,
02:21the FIFA World Cup here in Saudi Arabia,
02:24in between, of course, the 2030 World Cup.
02:26A lot of excitement going on
02:29in the world's number one sport, football.
