The Spanish official stressed the value of the joint proposal presented, defending that "they are two countries with very good football structures, with great tradition and great football stars and they deserve it”.

"It's the best candidate there is, I don't know it in depth, but if it's the best candidate, then I think it will win. I don't know if I can say it with as much certainty as Aleksander Ceferin, but I think it will win", predicted Javier Tebas.

Disagreement

Regarding the 2022 World Cup, which begins this month, Javier Tebas expressed his disagreement with the way in which the whole process took place.

"Let's remember that they decided that the World Cup was in the middle of a season, three years after they chose it, they realised that it was hot in Qatar! This reveals those leaders and how world football was being managed", he criticised.
