Gianni Infantino: "We must be united to fight racism" The president of the International Football Federation (Fifa) spoke at the Conmebol congress in Paraguay. Several football matches, particularly in Europe, have been disrupted in recent weeks by racist incidents in the stands.
“We need to act together with governments, teams, players. Going to a match must be a celebration,” continued the Fifa boss, who spoke in front of the Uruguayan and Paraguayan presidents Luis Lacalle Pou and Santiago Peña, but in the absence of their Argentine counterpart Javier Milei. These three countries will host the inaugural matches of the 2030 World Cup, before the rest of the competition takes place in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The Real Madrid striker Vinicius recently burst into tears while speaking at a press conference about this fight against discrimination, for which a symbolic friendly match between Spain and Brazil was organized at the end of March (3-3)
