RABAT, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The second FIFA Executive Football Summit opened on Tuesday in the Moroccan city of Marrakech.

The three-day summit is part of the 2018/19 series of the FIFA Executive Football Summits, which aims to tackle several global football issues, including the future of FIFA's competitions, women's football and video assistant referees (VAR).

Since its launch by FIFA President Gianni Infantino in Paris in November 2016, the summits have become an exchange platform to discuss strategic football matters and share best practices between member associations' executives.

The first summit this season was held in Qatar's capital Doha in December, with the last one expected in Rome between January 21 and 23.
