FIFA rejects Zelensky request to deliver peace message at World Cup final

World Cup organizers have rejected a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to deliver a message ahead of the tournament’s final, SİA reports citing CNN.

Zelensky had asked to share a plea for world peace ahead of Sunday’s World Cup final but was turned down by FIFA, soccer’s governing body.

The Ukrainian president wanted to deliver the message via video to fans in the stadium in Qatar. The Ukrainians and FIFA are still holding talks, a source told the US news network.

Zelensky has repeatedly appealed for peace and assistance on the world stage at government and cultural events, including to Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, US lawmakers, the Grammy Awards, the Cannes Film Festival and the G20 summit.
