On equal pay, Infantino said: 'That would not solve anything. It might be a symbol but it would not solve anything, because it's one month every four years and it's a few players out of the thousands and thousands of players. We need to keep the momentum. We need to push it. We need to go for equality but we have to do it for real. And you, here in this room, all the women in this room, you have the power to do it. So believe in it.'
Infantino congratulated himself on expanding the Women's World Cup to 32 nations.
He said: 'I remember when we decided to do that of course the usual critics, which are less and less, were saying it's not going to work and the level is too different. There would be 15-0 scores, it will be bad for women's football and its image.
'I'm sorry but FIFA was right. FIFA was right. As it happens quite often in the last years, FIFA was right once more. We had eight debutants. We had many countries around the world who thought suddenly they had a chance to participate.'
