We are today 208
national associations
in six continental confederations
300 million
active participants are in our game
and with their famillies
there is one billion people
directly or inderectly interested
in such a game
but this game is more than just a game
or kicking the ball, this game has
a value, a special
educational value
the educational value because the game is based on discipline
and respect. It is a game
with a fighting
spirit, it´s a combat game
but in the spirit of fair play and therefore
this game is not only giving all these
emotions around the world as you have
witnessed now in this famous Worldcup
in South Africa. But this game
is giving also, I would say,
a lot of hope to the humanity and specially
to the use of this volt
and I am so happy to say today
that all the bidders we have received
yesterday and today and
I have to make big big compliments
to all the bidders, to all
the national associations accompained by their
political dignitories
for the big job they have done and
for the messages they have delivered
they have all delivered messages saying
that football is more than a game and I am happy
that all those
they have been in, they have said
in football we learn to win and
that´s easy, but in football
we also learn to lose, and this is not so easy
As we have had
four bidders for
the 2018 and we can have
only one winner that
Then, obviosuly three of the bidding
companies or associations
they must go home by saying
what a pity, but
they must now stand also by saying
football is not only by winning,
football is also
a school of life where you
learn to lose, that´s not easy
it´s not easy, so
ladies and gentleman, everybody is now
debating of the result
of 2018
wherefore
contenders were there
combined
there together
the Netherlands or Holland
and Belgium, we have had
also Portugal and Spain
or Spain and Portugal
then we have had Russia
and the motherland of football, England
The Secretary General
has announced
that we have taken decision
the Executive Comitee, the Elective
College and FIFA 21 members
and the President
we have taken the decision and now
I would like to know
what is the decision for the 2018
I would speak
more and more but
I have to announce it and this is
the public notary ot the city of Zurich,
he gives me the envelope
