Since assuming her leadership role in March 2022 Klaveness has advocated for change within FIFA, particularly as related to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In response to reports of harsh labor practices which led to the deaths of thousands of migrant workers, Klaveness pushed for safe conditions and fair pay for migrant workers. Klaveness has also spoken out against FIFA's decision to allow Qatar to host the Cup, citing the country's human rights violations including anti-LGBT laws and societal oppression of women.[3][4]
