"A heartfelt and resounding congratulations to my dear friend and global icon, George Manneh Weah, on his prestigious appointment by FIFA to lead the anti-racism Players’ Voice Panel This is a monumental moment, not just for football but for the broader fight for equality and justice worldwide. George, your selection for this role is a testament to your integrity, leadership, and lifelong dedication to confronting injustice head-on.
Racism, a vile and persistent virus, has long plagued the beautiful game, tarnishing its spirit and leaving deep scars not only on the pitch but also within the political and social fabrics of communities across the globe. From discriminatory chants in stadiums to systemic barriers off the field, its impact has been devastating, dividing fans, players, and societies alike. Yet, in the face of this challenge, FIFA could not have chosen a more fitting leader than you, Manneh. Your remarkable journey; from a football legend to a global advocate for change, has shown the world what it means to stand up against racism and injustice with courage and conviction.
With your unparalleled leadership, grounded in humility and strength, and your unwavering commitment to fairness, I have absolute confidence that you will steer this high-profile panel with wisdom and impact. Your voice has always been a beacon of hope, and now, as you take on this critical task, I know you’ll inspire players, fans, and communities to unite in dismantling racism in football and beyond. This is more than a role, it’s a movement, and you’re the perfect person to lead it.
Congratulations my friend! I am super proud of you."
