“FIFA is dedicated to harnessing the power of football towards the goal of enacting positive societal change. We’re delighted to be partnered with a company like BYJU’S, which is also engaging communities and empowering young people wherever they may be in the world,” said Kay Madati, FIFA’s Chief Commercial Officer.
“We look forward to supporting the promotion of BYJU’S educational learning opportunities, as well as having them join the global drumbeat of excitement for the FIFA World Cup 2022 through its association with this groundbreaking tournament,” he added.

While it is a matter of great pride for the Indian company to represent their company as sponsors of the World Cup, there is a lot of controversy surrounding Qatar as the host of the tournament. The primary reason behind it is the gross amount of human rights violation that has taken place in constructing the stadia and facilities to host the matches and spectators.
