FIFA President Gianni Infantino has met an International Labour Organization (ILO) delegation in Doha led by Director-General, Gilbert F. Houngbo to discuss future cooperation between the two organisations, including the celebration of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations.
“We have been engaging with the ILO for a number of years and we want to make sure our fruitful cooperation will continue in the future,” said President Infantino.
“The strengthening of the relation of FIFA and the ILO is also part of the legacy of the FIFA World Cup 2022, namely via the Legacy Fund that we will create, and which will be dedicated to workers throughout the world.”
The chairman of the FIFA foundation, Mauricio Macri and the head of the ILO’s Project Office for the State of Qatar, Max Tuñón, also took part in the meeting.
