In a remarkable press conference, Infantino seemed exhausted. He has spent a lot of time defending FIFA's decision in 2010 to award the World Cup to Qatar. A controversial decision made when he wasn't the governing body's president. "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," he said, in front of a stunned audience.
"We need to invest in education, to give them a better future, to give them hope. We should all educate ourselves," he said.
