Ethiopia's Addis Ababa to host 70th FIFA Congress in 2020 | News Central TV

The Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa is set to host the 2020 FIFA Congress. This announcement was made at the end of the 69th Congress in Paris, France.

The Congress will take place at African Union’s headquarters in May 2020.

“In just over three years, this organisation went from being toxic, almost criminal, to being what it should be: an institution that develops football,” said Infantino when addressing the Congress.

“This new FIFA has a mission and a plan for it, which is why the next four years have, in fact, already started: we have laid solid building blocks for the future.”

Earlier in the year, it was announced that Addis Ababa will host the 2020 edition of the World Economic Forum. And in May, Addis hosted the World Press Freedom Day activities for three days in 2019.
