Volodymyras Zelenskis has an important message for the FIFA organization.

CNN journalist Matthew Chance announced that the Ukrainian president wants to share a message of peace with the whole world before the World Cup final.

However, FIFA has rejected such a request at least for now, CNN adds.

Discussions between the Ukrainian government and the International Football Federation (FIFA) are still ongoing.

It is also unclear at this time whether V. Zelenskis would want to deliver his speech directly from Ukraine or if it would be pre-recorded and played at the stadium before the start of the final.
