FIFA president Infantino spoke to leaders at the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, where he described football as a "unique platform" as the championship is expected to be watched by five billion people - more than half the world's population.
- My plea to you is to think about a temporary truce for a month while the WC is going on, he says.
Infantino described football as something that unites, pointing out that Russia hosted the 2018 World Cup and that Ukraine is applying for the 2030 World Cup along with Spain and Portugal.
The WC in Qatar begins on Sunday 20 November and ends with the final on 18 December.
