us to be joined by. general. smith firstly thank you very much for joining us you're here it's been quite incredible year for you in terms of your role. as a private mixed rice britain to say the first woman the first black woman the first african history for secretary general was very exciting from a person they tell us about your year and how exciting it's been for you quite as you rightly mentioned it has been a very busy you for me i've been appointed defense secretary general after the last year fifty five congress in mexico so that you know how full go and the mere fact of having a woman presenting and getting this nation ofi for the award of governing body after more than one hundred years he's a strong signal on how the would do for bunny's embracing diversity. so now my job

is to make sure. that. implementing a diverse. level of our two hundred eleven member association i have reason to think that by twenty twenty six only have. not only. important. represents. across the. to me investing in. definitely

the best way for. you know to develop the game and to make it accessible to. the world. we have been implementing. and it's resulted in having more women to presentation it resulted in having more transparency in the way. invest. the money flow in and out has been really. where the money we are receiving from our. money that. we have really a way to track everything. and she will bring

a fresh. somebody. because we have to. have more. people involved in football fever has just completed. and think well really we invite. to give an insight. well. you know we should give these people an opportunity to get things right so you must be happy

with. important from a different part. of business life. professional and professional football is involved in the i have given. what i think if we have one thing. today after one year after eighteen months. is definitely that we are giving back to. active players by having them. we have bob on. my deputy in charge of football he's also the one behind for example referee program we have. everybody. being also. and management team because he's heading the technical division.

goal. twenty three in the world it's the highest ranking for quite some. we interviewed in london famously said twenty thirty years ago it will be when. i guess really. general at the top of the. game for an african nation might be. it would be important for the continent of africa what i think we have five team being the president did. african continent. as you remember. you know one twenty two went up to the quarter finals i think that they can only do better we spoke to. were at liverpool in liverpool.

that generation of players in two thousand and two were vitally important in his love of the game so i guess again from an african perspective it's important for all of those nations to inspire the next generation of african football is it within. europe and best in many african players so it's normal that when they come back home to play for their country that they don't but they have the same level of commitment. with a country so i have no doubt and i really hope that that will be the case that african teams that will be really going very far in this competition how important is it for russian sport for the host nation to have a good tournament while i think what we experienced during this. twenty seventeen. configuration. very strong and what

a world cup. by russia could be i really was fascinated by the level of. and more importantly about the woman well what pleased you the most from the russian welcoming in the some of the confederations cup because i was here and one of my roles i believe. to speak honestly about. seven times now i'm not a fantastic people don't look at me differently on the street people don't treat me differently. which is again some of the stereotypes that we are presented with. so tell us what what pleasantly surprised you about the confederations cup. what you just described when i came for the first time in russia it was in july. one month after. definitely like.

i was just feeling to be treated differently and i was ready to. think differently about africa and africa but. i haven't any issues wherever i go to explain. i have received a warm welcome. during the confederation the people from even different. to be muslim receive a very. where we have. been and they were sending me messages. telling me.

know that you can count on us what you think about russia reality and to live the reality. definitely need to be. they have to. experience safety. very seriously. implemented at all levels in the host cities you would be discovering a country that ties vite idea of considering diversity you can experience

a many different order so. they got thrown on me. right off and lots of different things in cause i'm in particular as you might well say and you have two of the best team in the wood coming here and the lord will be stopping for one month to watch the one cup so don't to miss the opportunity to discover your lifestyle and also look on trees that is really warm welcoming i find one around the woods secretary-general has been absolute pleasure i hope that if england senegal we can be friends afterwards no matter how much for joining there like a stump thank you so much. for
