The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.

Fifa stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.

I am a mountain goat that keeps going and going and going, I cannot be stopped, I just keep going.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.

We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time. If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it.

There is no systematic corruption in FIFA. That is nonsense. We are financially clean and clear.

I think it is high time that Europe starts to understand that we do not rule the world anymore, and that some former European imperial powers can no longer impress their will on to others in far away places, and we must accept that football has moved away from being a European and South American sport: it has become the World Sport that billions of fans are excitedly following every week, everywhere in the world.
