Issa Hayatou Quotations

Do not lock yourself into an egotistical and a purely (financial) accounting approach to football.

We would not have decent pitches to stage the tournament on. It would be more like water polo than football.

This partnership could not have come at a better time than when we are in the threshold of hosting the first-ever football World Cup on African soil.

I have no doubt whatsoever that the Olympic football tournaments in China will be played in perfect conditions.

We are convinced that the stadiums will be completed on time and of good quality.
