During his address, he presented the “FIFA Football for schools project” and mentioned several examples from the countries present where football already is helping to achieve these objectives such as the use of football to teach life skills in schools across the world, integration of migrants through football projects and football clinics that address violence against women.
“Football can bring us together and make the world a more prosperous, educated, equal and, perhaps even, peaceful place. These are also the priorities of world leaders, and FIFA is honoured to be a credible and reliable partner for them,” added the FIFA president Infantino.
