The president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, did not expect a rapid return of supporters in football stadiums, even if the crisis of the coronavirus diminishes. “Let’s not forget that there must always be a place for the fans “, said the boss of world football for the 211 member nations of FIFA in a video message. “Football without spectators is obviously not the same thing, but we must be patient when considering the right time to bring back fans to the stadiums. “
” We will continue to work tirelessly, but also quietly and respectfully, to go beyond the temporary measures, and to ensure that the fans are greeted on their return from a safe and responsible manner “.
