I did not refer to youth world cups, Mr. Montagliani. I am talking about the men's and women's world cups.

You hosted the women's World Cup on a surface that no World Cup has ever been hosted on before or since, and now you have told me in your sworn testimony that FIFA told you to do it. Please produce for the committee the letter that FIFA sent to you or Canada Soccer ordering you to host the tournament on turf.
