Use football diplomacy to build bridges between nations and to keep the sport above divisions whenever possible.

Maintain confidence and assertiveness in leadership; decisive direction is necessary in a sport as large and complex as world football.

Support the expansion of elite competitions when it can increase global engagement, commercial growth, and competitive opportunity.

Be pragmatic and results-oriented in governance: focus on implementing changes that can be delivered rather than only discussing ideals.

Treat major events as opportunities to leave a legacy beyond the pitch, including development, social impact, and international cooperation.

Believe that football can unite people across cultures, languages, and political differences, and should be used to promote connection and shared identity.
