“Europe should be apologising for the next 3,000 years" - FIFA President Gianni Infantino

During the press conference, Gianni Infantino said that Europeans had no right to teach morals to the world. He said: "I think for what we Europeans have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people.”

"Today I have very strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. Of course, I’m not Qatari, I’m not Arab, I’m not African, not gay, not disabled, not really a migrant worker." Infantino added.

"I feel like them because I know what it means to be discriminated, as a foreigner in a foreign country, as a child at school I was bullied as I had red hair & freckles. Of course, there are things that don’t work and need to be addressed. But this moral lesson giving, one-sided, it is just hypocrisy." Gianni Infantino concluded. However, some players like Denmark’s Christian Eriksen and Portugal’s Bruno Fernandes had expressed their disappointment at the Arab country for hosting the World Cup.
