The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.

We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions.

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

It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.

There is a movement in club football, which I don't necessarily consider a prime example of solidarity, because it leads us to conclude the rich are getting richer and they are using everything in the market to create an exodus from Africa.

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

FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.
