A few days ago, the World Rugby Union came to the side of the member countries in the fight against coronavirus. They announced a100 million relief fund for 201 rugby member countries around the world.
FIFA now followed the path shown by Rugby Union. FIFA has come forward to stand by all the member countries of the world affected by the Corona. For this, the highest body of world football will give 150 million US dollars to 211 countries. Each country will receive at least 5 Lakh US dollars. FIFA has also decided to make up for all the financial losses caused by the coronavirus in football. FIFA will also monitor the use of these grants properly.
FIFA has not yet released last year’s financial report. However, according to the financial report of 2018, 274 crore dollars is in FIFA’s fund. And FIFA makes the decision to take advantage of that money. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “The epidemic poses an unprecedented challenge to the entire football community. FIFA’s responsibility is to stand by everyone at this time. The grant program will start with the countries that are suffering from the most financial crisis.’’
FIFA, however, has already finalized the next steps. That FIFA will announce next week.
