Infantino spoke of criticism of the refereeing level at the tournament, particularly the threat of political interference after US forward Folarin Balogui was handed a one-match ban by FIFA following his elimination from the last 16 – an intervention by US President Donald Trump.
Of the 191 red cards shown at the Men’s World Cup, only one other player escaped punishment.
UEFA said. The decision “crossed a red line.”The Norwegian Football Federation called it “unprecedented, incomprehensible and unfair” while considering it. Filing a formal complaint For FIFA Ethics Committee.
Infantino, however, argued that such decisions were not out of the ordinary.
He added: “It is surprising that the same countries that employ these practices are criticizing them.”
The International Olympic Committee said. He doesn’t examine Infantino. The complaint filed by human rights group FairSquare is outside the ethics commission’s jurisdiction and could violate political neutrality.
Infantino’s advice to his opponents was to “show some love in a race where people come together as a family, as a fan, as one” and “respect”.
“To all of you who missed our beautiful game, the emotion, the celebrations, the laughter, the crying, the trickery and the joy. To all of you who missed seeing children, babies, grandparents and parents come together for the beautiful game… you missed it all because you were so thirsty for hate and criticism,” Infantino wrote.
“When they celebrate, they are busy planting the seeds of hatred. Our world needs love, not hate; tolerance, not separation; celebration, not mourning.”
For those who spend their time and energy hating us, please take a moment to meditate, pray or watch a football match and really see the faces, the eyes, the emotions.
Because only our beautiful game can provide such an extraordinary scene, a scene where everyone comes together and interacts as people.
“As FIFA president, I’m very proud to contribute even a little bit to this scene. It’s a great feeling.”
