FIFA president Gianni Infantino thinks the World Cup in Russia is the best world cup in history. Infantino, who appeared at the press conference in the striking red hoodie that all volunteers wear at the World Cup, looked back on a number of issues.

"True nature know Russians"

"Before the start of the tournament, I said that this would be the best World Cup, and today I can repeat that with conviction, it has become a fantastic, incredible world cup, the best World Cup in history," said Infantino.

The Swiss also expressed his admiration for the flawless organization. "I want to thank Russia, the Russian government and President Putin very much, and thanks to this World Cup, we have learned the true nature of the Russian people, and the World Cup has changed the perception of the country."

Infantino also believes that Russia has become a real football country. "Russia has changed, and football is now part of the DNA of the country, thanks to the national team's performance on the work that has been delivered, on infrastructure, and everything was beautiful and efficient."

"VAR is added value for the sport"

The World Cup in Russia also became the debut of the VAR on a World Cup. The FIFA boss thinks that the entry of the Video assistant referee did not change football.

"I was skeptical a few years ago, but I have to admit that football has become much fairer and more transparent thanks to the VAR, which is an absolute added value for the sport."

48 countries in Qatar?

Infantino also came back to the idea of ​​allowing the World Cup of 2022 in Qatar to continue with 48 countries, instead of 32. "That will be discussed in the coming months and a decision will be made before the start of the qualifying matches. "

The Swiss also confirmed that the World Cup 2022 will take place from 21 November to 18 December. Money makes many things possible ...

A lot of things will have to be discussed the coming months, thats for sure!
