They (the FAI) have asked, very humbly, can't we be team No 33 at the World Cup? They have asked for that... really!

What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.

Any country if you go really, really in depth somewhere, the human rights are not totally respected.

I can understand that people are not happy, but they should not use football to make their demands heard

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

As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous is when clubs accept fools.
