Message on the occasion of the opening of the FIFA World Cup

Kofi A. Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations
and Joseph Blatter, President of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association

It enhances personal development and growth, teaches us teamwork and fair play, builds self-esteem and opens doors to new opportunities. This, in turn, can contribute to the well-being of whole communities and countries.
