FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has held a discussion with the President of Rwanda over the development of football in the country.
The Swiss-Italian met Paul Kegame in the United States of America and pledged to use football to give young girls and boys opportunities through football.
In a statement, Infantino commended the East African country for being home to some of football’s biggest conferences recently.
“It was great to meet the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, in New York to discuss his country's dynamic football development and we agreed to continue our fruitful collaboration in the future,” the statement said.
“Rwanda were wonderful hosts of the FIFA Congress earlier this year and President Kagame, his government, and the Rwandan Football Association have been
fantastic partners for FIFA, working hand in hand with us and putting a lot of time and effort into taking our sport forward in the country.
“There is a genuine passion and love for football at every level of society in this country and I agreed with Paul Kagame to continue to give girls and boys in the country the opportunity to get exercise and education through the beautiful game.”
