I said earlier that the 2018 World Cup will be the best in history. Now I can say it again, but with the conviction that this is really the best World Cup of all time. I would like to thank all those who were involved in the preparation of the tournament, said Infantino, who came to meet the journalists in a volunteer jacket.
