CONMEBOL has backed FIFA and called for participating countries to “leave controversies behind” ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
The letter from FIFA president Gianni Infantino and the governing body’s secretary general Fatma Samoura followed a number of protests made by World Cup teams.
Speaking to a news conference about the offers, Infantino said FIFA was “not going to accept this.”
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will take place in 10 different venues across nine different cities in Australia and New Zealand
“The competition will breathe new life into African club competition,” he said in Rabat following CAF’s executive committee meeting.”
The IFAB also is investigating how to reduce time-wasting, with the ball usually in action for just 54 minutes of a 90-minute match.
Infantino, 52, was first elected in 2016 to succeed disgraced former president Joseph Blatter and was re-elected in 2019.
FIFA said it was working with the football community in Ukraine and the region to provide needed support to Ukrainians.
“We need to give hope to Africans so they don’t need to cross the Mediterranean in order to find…a better life.”
FIFA’s ethics committee, in March 2021, imposed a new six-year, four-month ban on Blatter.
