According to FIFA President Gianni #Infantino, it was a pleasure to visit South Sudan, where he was privileged to witness the young country play its first competitive FIFA #WorldCup #qualifier on home soil at the new Juba National Stadium – funded entirely by FIFA and a jewel that everyone must be proud of. Congratulations to Sudan for winning the match and to the hosts for having played a good game.
It was delightful to see the passionate home fans cheer the team and be part of a significant moment in the young history of South Sudan, the youngest country in the world. He loved every moment of being back in this football-loving nation and feels right at home here.
