Doha: Qatar Football Association (QFA) President and Minister of Sport and Youth H E Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani has welcomed FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s decision not to proceed with the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal, describing it as a step taken in the best interest of the international football community.
In a statement, Sheikh Hamad said that while the proposal contained ideas worthy of consideration, the decision to prioritise the unity of all FIFA member associations reflected sound judgment at an important time for world football.
“The QFA commends the prioritisation of maintaining the unity of all member national associations at this time and the wisdom behind this decision,” he said.
Sheikh Hamad also reaffirmed the QFA’s full support for President Infantino’s continued efforts to develop and promote football across the world.
