‘enmaeya.com’ stated that Infantino, who recently obtained Lebanese citizenship, described the meeting as a personal and professional milestone – “I was honored to meet President Joseph Aoun. I love Lebanon, half of me is Lebanese.”

He announced plans to build a new stadium that meets international standards which will be offered to Lebanon and the Lebanese Football Association (LFA – the official governing body for football [soccer] in Lebanon).

The Lebanese Football Association President Hachem Haidar, who accompanied Infantino during the meeting, praised the initiative and thanked President Aoun for supporting the project.
