Infantino also announced that FIFA is joining with the World Health Organisation in their campaign for fair access to Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and diagnostics.

“We all have to play our part in the battle against the coronavirus. We are also calling on the international community to act together to ensure a level playing field in relation to access to vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests across the globe,” Infantino said.
