Gianni Infantino, FIFA President, The FIFA Council

<h3>As Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, over three million stray dogs face mass slaughter under the guise of "cleaning up" the streets. Every year, hundreds of thousands of dogs in Morocco are poisoned, shot, and left to die in agony — a practice that has only escalated since FIFA announced that Morocco would host part of the tournament.<br /> <br />In 2019, Morocco promised to use humane methods to control the stray population, but recent evidence, including shocking footage from the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup, shows dogs dying agonizing deaths in the streets.</h3> <h3>We are calling on FIFA President Gianni Infantino to immediately stop the mass killing of dogs in Morocco and demand humane, lasting solutions instead — including sterilization programs and emergency protection for nursing mothers, puppies, and injured strays.</h3> <h3>FIFA must not allow its tournament to be stained by the blood of innocent animals.</h3> <h3>No animal should be tortured or killed to make a city look “clean.”</h3>
