  • FIFA and UEFA Address Various Urgent Matters
    Media Release Date: 15/02/2007 Communiqué aux médias No. 021 Medien-Mitteilung FIFA and UEFA address various urgent matters Coordination meeting FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini, accompanied by a delegation from each governing body, met in Zurich today Thursday 15 February 2007 to discuss a number of urgent matters. The meeting focused on problems regarding players’ agents, insurance for clubs and the players who they release for international duty and the coordinated international match calendar. With regard to the latter issue, it was noted that, in December 2007, there will be a collision due to scheduled fixtures in the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. The two governing bodies will now examine two possible solutions to this problem as soon as possible. At the same time, the two bodies agreed to create a committee, composed of representatives of all of football’s stakeholders (confederations, associations, leagues, clubs and players’ representatives), in order to harmonise the coordinated international match calendar at world level up to 2014. Joseph S. Blatter and Michel Platini both recognised the importance of this meeting. “This meeting came at a vital moment, not only for European football, but also for world football. FIFA cannot implement its sports policies without direct cooperation and collaboration with UEFA. We may not always have the same ideas, but we will have the same approach,” stressed Blatter. Michael Platini, meanwhile, underlined the “unity of vision” shared by FIFA and UEFA, who “need to work together to promote the true values of football and develop our sport together.

  • Platini Déclare Forfait
    Sport / Sports FIFA Platini déclare forfait ©D. R. Le calendrier était trop serré: Michel Platini a logiquement renoncé jeudi à maintenir sa candidature à la présidence de la Fifa, faute de temps suffisant pour épuiser les différents recours face à sa suspension de 8 ans de toute activité liée au foot. Dans un entretien exclusif paru hier dans L'Équipe, le Français de 60 ans explique : “Je ne me présenterai pas à la présidence de la Fifa. Je retire ma candidature. Je ne peux plus, je n'ai plus le temps ni les moyens d'aller voir les électeurs, de rencontrer les gens, de me battre avec les autres”. L'élection est certes prévue le 26 février, à Zurich, mais les candidatures devaient être enregistrées le 26 janvier, au plus tard. Or, à la date de jeudi (le 7 janvier), le président (suspendu) de l'UEFA n'avait toujours pas reçu les motivations de la sanction prononcée le 21 décembre par la justice interne de la Fifa pour ce fameux paiement controversé de 1,8 million d'euros reçu de Sepp Blatter, le président de la Fifa, également suspendu 8 ans. À partir de la réception de ces motivations, l'ex-triple Ballon d'Or pourra enclencher les différents recours à sa disposition: la chambre d'appel de la Fifa, puis le Tribunal arbitral du sport (TAS) de Lausanne, la juridiction sportive suprême. “Aujourd'hui, je dois m'occuper de tous les recours, suivre les procédures. En plus des motivations qui doivent encore être rendues, il y aura, derrière, le TAS, puis la commission (électorale de la Fifa) présidée par Domenico Scala qui a dit (dans le Financial Times cet automne) que j'avais falsifié les comptes.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2016/A/4501 Joseph S. Blatter v. Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), award of 5 December 2016 Panel: Mr Manfred Nan (The Netherlands), President; Mr Patrick Lafranchi (Switzerland); Mr Andrew de Lotbinière McDougall (France) Football Disciplinary sanctions for infringements to the Code of Ethics Principle “tempus regit actum” and prohibition against retroactivity Admissibility of a witness statement of a witness not appearing at the hearing Potential conclusive and preclusive effects of a previous award rendered in a closely connected case Burden of proof Standard of proof of “personal conviction” Prohibition of bribery Conflict of interests Limited discretion to review sanctions imposed by disciplinary bodies of federations 1. Pursuant to the legal principle of tempus regit actum or non-retroactivity, procedural matters are governed by the regulations in force at the time of the procedural act in question. The prohibition against retroactivity is a fundamental principle of Swiss law and forms part of international public policy (ordre public). An exception in this respect may however be if more recent regulations than the one in force at the time of the violation are more favourable to the accused (lex mitior). 2. According to article 4(7) of the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration, “[i]f a witness whose appearance has been requested pursuant to Article 8.1 fails without a valid reason to appear for testimony at an Evidentiary Hearing, the Arbitral Tribunal shall disregard any Witness Statement related to that Evidentiary Hearing by that witness unless, in exceptional circumstances, the Arbitral Tribunal decides otherwise”.

  • Priority Dlf
    PRIORITY DLF: Global Youth Leadership Summit I received today the attached letter from Djibril Diallo which had been passed AB by the SG "for appropriate action." As we discussed, I would like you to be the focal point for liaising with Djibril re: the SG's participation in this project. Last week I passed you an earlier letter from Djibril (he has attached a copy to his latest letter to the SG) and asked that you prepare a note to the SG for AB's signature asking how much time he wished to devote to this meeting and setting out Djibril's proposals. I would suggest you discuss the proposed elements with him and get additional details. You might also want to get a sense of which elements he considers most important, as I doubt the SG will be willing to do everything asked. I know the talking points and telephone notes have kept you very busy but would appreciate your preparing this note by COB tomorrow. Thanks.

    New York, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Durban, Rio and St. Petersburg… The preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup™ goes back more than 80 years. The actual draw however has gone from an item on the agenda of a meeting of the FIFA organising committee to a huge professionally organised event. These days the draw may be a glitzy, lavishly produced event held in such impressive surroundings, followed by people all around on the world on TV and the internet, but this is a relatively recent development. By contrast, the draw for the preliminary competition of the 1970 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico, less than half a century ago, constituted nothing more than an item on the agenda of a regular meeting of the FIFA organising committee in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in 1968. It must therefore have seemed revolutionary when the German organisers of the 1974 tournament decided to broadcast the draw for the subsequent qualifying competition live from TV studios in Dusseldorf in July 1971. The pioneering step towards creating a truly global event was made, perhaps unsurprisingly, by the Americans, who held the Preliminary Draw for the 1994 FIFA World Cup™ at New York’s magnificent Madison Square Garden in 1991. This marked the start of a new era for something that until then had been considered nothing more than a mundane administrative matter. Since then New York, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Durban and Rio de Janeiro have hosted the draw – and this year St. Petersburg’s Konstantin Palace will join this illustrious group.

  • My Agenda for the Twenty-First Century FIFA
    JEROME CHAMPAGNE CANDIDATE TO THE FIFA PRESIDENCY R E - B A L A N C E T H E G A M E I N A G L O B A L I Z E D 2 1 S T C E N T U R Y My agenda for the twenty-first century FIFA Ladies and Gentlemen Presidents of FIFA member associations, Executives and Officials of associations, confederations, leagues, clubs and players' associations, Friends of Football, Since announcing my candidacy on January 20, I have focused on the discussion of ideas rather than people issues. I have put forth a specific agenda, always conscious of transparency and proximity. It is in this same spirit that I offer my 6th monthly newsletter with all of my proposals laid out concretely and in detail. In my view, and as I've written and said many times, we must continue and further improve what has been done well under the mandates of Presidents Havelange and Blatter: implement development programs, organize FIFA competitions on every continent, and take the correct sports policy decisions (e.g. the exclusion of South Africa because of apartheid in 1976). But we must do more. We must do better. Above all, we must do it differently. The world has changed, as has football, and the methods of modern governance. I do not claim to be right about everything, or propose today a solution to each of the prob- lems in the football of today and tomorrow. But I wish to stimulate the debate and lead it up to the 29th of May 2015 for the sake of FIFA and football.
