FIFA president Gianni Infantino has baffled fans with a bizarre speech ahead of the Women's World Cup final.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old, who holds the most powerful position in football, told female players that they have to "pick the right battles" in the fight for equal pay and treatment.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Speaking in Sydney, he said: "I say to all the women, and you know I have four daughters, so I have a few at home, I say to all the women that you have the power to change.<\/p>\n

"Pick the right battles. Pick the right fights. You have the power to change.<\/p>\n

"You have the power to convince us men what we have to do and what we don't have to do. You do it. Just do it.<\/p>\n

"With men, with Fifa, you will find open doors. Just push the doors. They are open."<\/p>\n

Another added: "It\u2019s easier to tweet when he\u2019s not at it."<\/p>\n

A third wrote: "As a man myself, people like him making comments like that make me cringe.<\/p>\n

"Many of us fellas are better than him, believe me. Women are better than him. Most people are better than him!"<\/p>\n

A fourth person commented: "Decades of keeping women out and now he\u2019s saying just push the doors open. No, you need to invite them in."<\/p>\n

While a fifth simply said: "He really needs to just stop talking."<\/p>\n

Infantino's comments also drew criticism from Lyon striker and former Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg.<\/p>\n

The Norway international tweeted: "Working on a little presentation to convince men. Who's in?"<\/p>\n

Infantino shocked fans with his unusual speech prior to the Men's World Cup in November.<\/p>\n

He started an hour-long presentation by saying: "Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I am not Qatari, Arab, gay or disabled."<\/p>\n
