The FIFA president appealed for a one-month ceasefire in Ukraine to mark the World Cup and said sport could unite, as per AFP.
Gianni Infantino addressed leaders of the Group of 20 major economies gathered in Bali and said the World Cup in Qatar could serve as a “positive trigger” in the Russian invasion of Ukraine that began almost 9 months back.”My plea to all of you is to think of a temporary ceasefire for one month for the duration of the World Cup,” he said.

According to him “the implementation of some humanitarian corridors or anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue.”
“We are not naive to believe that football can solve the world’s problems,” he added.
“Let’s take this opportunity to do everything we can to start putting an end to all conflicts,” he went on to say.
The tournament begins on November 20 and ends on December 18.
