Fifa president Gianni Infantino has spoken to media on eve of World Cup in first news conference since 2023
Infantino says three common topics surrounding tournament - Iran, tickets and visas
He said: "I don't know who else would have been able to ensure Iran could come and play"
He said denied entry of Somali referee Omar Artan is "unfortunate" but added "sometimes it's good to chill and relax"
If ticket prices were any cheaper, Infantino said there was risk of being sold "on black market"
From controversy over the costs to fans, the impact of geopolitics and immigration policies, to security, extreme weather, sustainability and the role of US President Donald Trump, expect plenty of topics to be covered by Fifa president Gianni Infantino.
Our sports editor Dan Roan has taken a deeper look at those questions.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino accused the West of "hypocrisy" in its reporting about Qatar's human rights record, on the eve of the 2022 World Cup.
In an extraordinary monologue at a news conference in Doha, Infantino spoke for nearly an hour and made a passionate defence of Qatar and the tournament.
He opened by saying: "Today I have strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker."
Infantino, who was born in Switzerland, said European nations should apologise for acts committed in their own histories, rather than focussing on migrant workers' issues in Qatar.
He added: "I have difficulties understanding the criticism. We have to invest in helping these people, in education and to give them a better future and more hope. We should all educate ourselves. Many things are not perfect but reform and change takes time.
"This one-sided moral lesson is just hypocrisy. I wonder why no-one recognises the progress made here since 2016."
What will he come out with this time?
