We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer.

Racism is if there are spectators or, outside the field of play, there are movements to discrimination, but, on the field of play, I deny that there is racism.

Any country if you go really, really in depth somewhere, the human rights are not totally respected.

I can understand that people are not happy, but they should not use football to make their demands heard

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.
-
Fifa stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.

Many people hold me ultimately responsible toward the actions and reputation of the global football community. I cannot monitor everyone all of the time.

We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time. If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it.

I am the president now, the president of everybody.
