Acrylic on cardboard. ‘iḏā-l-mar’u lam yadnas mina-l-lu’mi ƹirḍu-hu / fa-kullu ridā’in yartadī-hi jamīlu (As-Samaw’al ibn ƹādiyā’)

“I will say something which is crazy, but less democracy is sometimes better for organizing a World Cup. When you have a very strong head of state, that is easier for us organizers.”

(FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke, 2013)

Nota Bene: The style of the benemérito presidente of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is “His Excellency.”
