FIFA has offered direct encouragement for footballers to get vaccinated. The first clear statement of its kind from world football’s governing body came as players were flying to countries for men’s World Cup qualifiers.


“We encourage Covid-19 vaccinations,” FIFA said, “and endorse the World Health Organisation’s position: safe, fair, and equitable access is critical in all countries. Players should not receive priority access to vaccines.”
