Transcript
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.
00:33Of course it is unfortunate as well what happened to Omar,
00:39the referee from Somalia.
00:44But again, we don't control everything.
00:48We try, we'll discuss, we'll speak, we'll see.
00:51Maybe sometimes it's good as well to just, you know, chill, relax.
00:57We work on everything.
01:00We try to solve everything.
01:02Sometimes to immediately start screaming and shouting has the opposite effect of finding a solution.
01:12I can say it even more with more conviction because 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, a migrant worker.
01:31If you can crucify me, I'm here for that.
01:36If you sell it at a lower price point, and again, this has been part of intense and extensive analysis
01:43in this particular market,
01:44it would have gone, which is perfectly legal in this country, in secondary markets, at much, much, much higher prices.
01:5448 national teams will compete in 78 matches right here in the USA.
01:59We will see if it is still with 48 teams, which have been very successful, or maybe with 64 teams.
02:05We'll have to discuss that, to analyze that.
02:07We will see if we have hydration breaks or not.
02:10By then, we'll have to analyze and discuss it.
02:15I spoke to Johnny, who's highly respected, who's produced the most successful World Cup in history by, they say, four
02:22times.
02:23I have a great relationship with President Trump.
02:28I'm very happy about that.
02:32Without his engagement and his involvement, I think it would have been impossible, simply, as simple as that,
02:40it would have been impossible to organize a World Cup in the United States.
