Since assuming her leadership role in March 2022 Klaveness has advocated for change within FIFA.On the eve of the 2022 World Cup, in response to reports of mistreatment of migrant workers, Klaveness protested FIFA's decision to allow Qatar to host the Cup. Klaveness is also a vocal critic of holding the 2034 FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia, as she feels the bidding process is tainted with corruption and the country also violates human rights.
