“I discussed the future of our planet, as well as that of football, with President Aliyev and many heads of states and government stakeholders present for this conference, which was held inside a football stadium, once more representing football's power to unite.

As an international organization, FIFA takes its responsibility to protect the environment and climate seriously. We have developed and implemented programmes to support and contribute to climate action through investments in different internationally certified projects of the highest quality. I was further pleased to conclude that everyone present has a common objective: our children and their collective future.
