FIFA President Gianni Infantino today called for a truce and a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine during the World Cup.
The British newspaper The Guardian quoted Infantino as saying in a speech to world leaders at the G20 summit held on the Indonesian island of Bali: “Football is more than just a sport, and it has a huge social impact, and it means passion, tolerance, integration and education, and since football unites the world, The World Cup is an occasion to bring people together in peace, and to enjoy something much needed in the turbulent times we live in.
He added: World leaders have the ability to influence the course of history. What I appeal to all of you is to consider a temporary ceasefire for one month throughout the FIFA World Cup, or at least implement humanitarian corridors or anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue. As a first step towards peace.
Qatar will host the World Cup finals between November 20 and December 18.
