FIFA JOINS FIGHT FOR EQUITABLE VACCINE ACCESS

The World Health Organisation’s effort to ensure equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines around the world will received a major boost globally through the sporting fraternity.
World football’s governing body, FIFA has partnered with the WHO in its‘act together’ campaign to promote equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and diagnostics.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino says like in football, the key values of fairness and team spirit are needed to overcome Covid-19.

He says football will be the avenue through which the message will be disseminated to the global audience.

FIFA, last year, contributed US$10 million to the COVID-19 solidarity response fund and conducted several campaigns to raise awareness of how to stay safe from the virus, be physically active and to stop violence against women.
