Reflecting on how far FIFA has come in three years and four months, Infantino said: “Today nobody is talking about crisis, nobody is talking about rebuilding from scratch, nobody is talking about corruption.“We have turned things around. FIFA has gone from being toxic, almost criminal, to what it should be, an organisation that develops and cares about football.” In his closing speech, Infantino thanked the delegates from FIFA’s 211 member associations for their support and promised he would not stand still but would continue to develop the game and defend football.His priorities would be the creation of more youth competitions, a continued push on women’s football, more investment in technology and the organisation of a world convention on football development.Valencia erect statue of late fan Vicente Navarro Aparicio in the seat he sat in for more than 40 years
