FIFA President Gianni Infantino Expects Five Billion To Watch Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022

News 18  

Football is much more than a sport, and has a “unique magic” power to bring people together, said FIFA President Gianni Infantino in an interview ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Infantino expected the FIFA World Cup in Qatar to be viewed by five billion people, more than half of the world’s population. Noting China’s plan to bid to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2031, Infantino said that the move, together with China’s involvement in football clubs and youth football, helps address regional imbalances in football development, and is crucial for the overall development of the sport. Meanwhile, Spanish football coach Luis Enrique has made a surprise announcement that will take him closer to fans during the Qatar World Cup finals, by announcing he will become an online “streamer” during the tournament.
