Wearing a USA jersey numbered 7, the energetic streamer enthusiastically greeted Infantino in the stands. The pair bantered about Speed's football ambitions, with the streamer declaring his readiness to play as a striker in the 2030 World Cup.
Infantino playfully responded by offering him a "guaranteed spot" and, in a humorous exchange, temporarily handed over the role of FIFA President for five minutes. Speed asked:
"Can I be president of FIFA for five minutes?"
Infantino laughed and went along with the bit, even pointing and engaging with the crowd as the streamer hyped up the moment. Speed also requested that his song be played in the stadium, to which Infantino assured him it was coming.
The lighthearted interaction highlights Speed's growing influence in the football world. The streamer has been actively involved in FIFA's fan engagement efforts ahead of and during the tournament, including receiving the first official FIFA Fan ID earlier in the buildup. His viral FIFA anthem has always been circulating online.
