The 75th FIFA Congress took place with the participation of representatives from more than 200 member associations around the world . This Congress not only marked the important milestone of the 100th anniversary of Paraguay joining FIFA, but also served as a forum for football associations around the world to discuss important issues related to the development of global football.

One of the key issues of the Congress was the adoption of the revised Disciplinary Code, which aims to strengthen the ability to deal with racist and abusive behaviour, with close coordination between the 211 member associations. In addition, the Congress also approved new regulations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, ensuring the efficient and fair organisation of these tournaments.

In particular, to celebrate the 120th anniversary of FIFA, a special exhibition was held in Asunción, displaying precious historical artifacts such as the Jules Rimet trophy, the Women's World Cup trophy and the Copa America, to honor football heritage and inspire the younger generation.
