(SOUNDBITE) (English) FIFA PRESIDENT, GIANNI INFANTINO, SAYING:  "Well, football’s role has to be to support, has to be to unite, has to be to give hope in the region. In Gaza, in Palestine, we will, of course, help to rebuild all the football facilities. We will help to bring football back – together with the Palestinian Football Association – in every corner of the country. We will bring balls, we will build pitches, we will bring instructors, we will help organise competitions, we will launch a fund to help rebuild football infrastructure in Palestine. And everyone who wants shall contribute. We ourselves have contributed with mini pitches, with the FIFA Arenas, and we want the whole world to contribute, because football brings hope to children. And it’s very, very important. I realised it here today in my conversations with all the leaders in the world. They all want to contribute. They all see the importance of football to unite, to bring people together – now, this year in the Middle East, next year, of course, in North America, in Canada, in Mexico and in the United States with the FIFA World Cup, which also has the full support, of course, of President Trump, but also of the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada. And all together we will welcome the world in North America from the 11th of June to the 19th of July for a month of celebration of humanity, of togetherness, which is what the world needs today." 7.
