M O N U C B a 2 0 ANU-AR | Asociación para las Naciones Unidas de la República Argentina XII MODELO DE NACIONES UNIDAS “Ciudad de Buenos Aires” M GUÍA ACADÉMICA: CONGRESO FIFA O ACLARACIONES INICIALES Una Guía Académica, como lo indica su nombre, cumple la función de guiar al Delegado N en el proceso de preparación e investigación previo al Modelo. Funge como herramienta de tutela, pero nunca puede ser considerada como el total del material que un participante debe abordar. Una Guía no debe brindar un gran cúmulo de información, U por el contrario, debe dejar que el Delegado recorra su propio camino de investigación. Allí está la esencia de los Modelos de Naciones Unidas. El participante debe diagramar y C seguir su personal y único recorrido de investigación. La Guía operará preguntas, cuestionamientos y disparadores para orientar al Delegado. Solo eso. El texto, además, explicará muy superficialmente el tópico y brindará recomendaciones con el fin de dar un B punto de partida al participante. El mérito de un buen Delegado recae en una investigación intensa, personalizada y con un profundo análisis interpretativo de los A datos. Acerca de la FIFA 2 La Fédération Internationale de Football Association es la institución que engloba y regula las federaciones y asociaciones de fútbol de todo el mundo. Fue fundada el 21 de mayo 0 de 1904 y tiene su sede en la ciudad de Zúrich, Suiza. En la actualidad cuenta con 209 países miembros. Sus órganos componentes más importantes son: un Comité Ejecutivo 1 (con el mayor poder decisorio), una Secretaría General (encargada de la administración) y un Congreso (el órgano más representativo, contando con voz y voto todas las 6 asociaciones afiliadas). Se encuentran afiliadas a la FIFA, 6 confederaciones: Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL). Unión Europea de Asociaciones de Fútbol (UEFA). Confederación Asiática de Fútbol (AFC). 1 Copyright © 2005 – 2016 ANU-AR. Todos los derechos reservados. ANU-AR | Asociación para las Naciones Unidas de la República Argentina Confederación Africana de Fútbol (CAF). Confederación de Fútbol de Norte, Centroamérica y el Caribe (CONCACAF). Confederación de Fútbol de Oceanía (OFC). M La FIFA tiene a su cargo distintas competencias futbolísticas. Entre las más destacadas, podemos mencionar: O Copa Mundial de Fútbol (masculina y femenina). Copa Confederaciones. N Torneo Olímpico de Fútbol (masculino y femenino). Copa Mundial de Fútbol Sub-20 (masculina y femenina). U Copa Mundial de Fútbol Sub-17 (masculina y femenina). Campeonato Mundial de Fútbol Sala (masculina y femenina). C Copa Mundial de Fútbol Playa. Copa Mundial de Clubes (masculina y femenina). B La FIFA posee una variedad de comisiones de trabajo permanentes, que pueden crear A otras subcomisiones, de ser necesario. Mencionamos algunas Comisiones Permanentes: Comisión de Asuntos Legales Comisión de Deportividad y Responsabilidad Social Comisión de Finanzas 2 Comisión de Fútbol Playa 0 Comisión de Árbitros Comisión de Auditoría y Conformidad 1 Comisión de Desarrollo 6 Comisión de Fútsal Comisión de las Asociaciones Comisión de Medicina Comisión de Medios Informativos Comisión de Mercadotecnia y Televisión 2 Copyright © 2005 – 2016 ANU-AR. Todos los derechos reservados. ANU-AR | Asociación para las Naciones Unidas de la República Argentina Comisión de Seguridad e Integridad Comisión de Fútbol de Clubes Comisión del Estatuto del Jugador Comisión Estratégica M Comisión Organizadora de la Copa Mundial O Además de los mencionados, la FIFA cuenta con otros órganos que facilitan el cumplimiento de sus variados compromisos. Entre ellos destacamos la Cámara de Resolución de Disputas, los Oficiales de Desarrollo, el Centro de Evaluación e N Investigación Médica y el Task Force contra el Racismo y la Discriminación. U También cuenta con órganos judiciales, tales los casos de la Comisión de Apelación, la Comisión Disciplinaria y la Comisión Ética. C En los últimos tiempos se han creado nuevos órganos, los cuales hablan a las claras de las necesidades y metas de la FIFA en la actualidad. Se creó la Comisión B Independiente de Gobernabilidad, el Grupo de Trabajo para la Reforma de los Estatutos, el Grupo de Trabajo por la Transparencia y el Cumplimiento, el Grupo de A Trabajo de la Comisión de Ética de la FIFA y el Task Force Fútbol 2014. Éste último ha sido uno de los más difundidos, dado que su tarea es la de estudiar distintas propuestas que pudieran mejorar el atractivo del fútbol, lo que incluye cuestiones reglamentarias. Entre sus integrantes se encuentran importantes futbolistas retirados, de la talla de Franz Beckenbauer, como Presidente, y de Pelé, como uno de los Vicepresidentes. 2 0 Acerca del Congreso 1 El Congreso reúne a los 209 miembros de la FIFA, contando cada uno de ellos con un voto equivalente, lo que significa que el voto de ninguna asociación vale más que el de 6 otra, más allá del poderío económico y/o futbolístico que posea. Suele reunirse cada dos años, pero desde 1998 lo hace anualmente, a través de sesiones extraordinarias. El Congreso adopta decisiones relativas a los estatutos que rigen la FIFA y a su aplicación y puesta en práctica. Entre sus tareas tiene, también, la de aprobar el Informe Anual, la de decidir sobre la incorporación de nuevas asociaciones nacionales y la de realizar elecciones, en particular la que respecta a la Presidencia de la Organización. El Presidente de la FIFA es el encargado de presidir el acto de reunión del Congreso. 3 Copyright © 2005 – 2016 ANU-AR. Todos los derechos reservados. ANU-AR | Asociación para las Naciones Unidas de la República Argentina Misión de la FIFA Según la propia FIFA su misión es: "Desarrollar el juego, emocionar al mundo, edificar un futuro mejor". Entre sus deberes, proclama la salvaguarda del juego, la difusión del fútbol y el infundir esperanza en aquellos que más lo necesitan. “Nuestra misión M es contribuir a la edificación de un futuro mejor para el mundo a través del poder y la popularidad del fútbol”, reza el sitio web de la FIFA. O Entre sus valores mencionan: “autenticidad, unidad, desempeño e integridad”. N Según desarrolla, el fútbol posee una fuerza unificadora que es capaz de impulsar cambios para mejorar la sociedad, de allí su importancia y de allí el gran compromiso U que carga consigo la FIFA. C Tópico I: Violencia en los Estadios. Medidas para combatir el flagelo. B Tanto en Latinoamérica, como en el mundo, el fútbol despierta grandes pasiones, lo que puede manifestarse en formas gratas o lamentables. Las emociones que corren detrás de A un balón de fútbol han generado infinidad de alegrías e infinidad de dolores. Entre los segundos, encontramos la formación de organizaciones criminales, la corrupción, la malversación de fondos, la utilización comercial de jóvenes prodigios y, muy particularmente, la violencia. El fútbol tiene en éste último punto uno de sus más importantes problemas. La violencia ha venido a instalarse en los estadios, a veces bajo 2 la figura de las diferencias religiosas, políticas o regionales, otras bajo la fachada del racismo y la intolerancia, y otras bajo el auspicio de la cultura del odio y la agresividad 0 irracional. Como sea, es prioritario encontrar una respuesta, y, además de los gobiernos nacionales, es la FIFA quien tiene un rol protagónico en ello. 1 Una de las primeras preguntas que debemos hacernos a la hora de buscar 6 soluciones a la violencia en el fútbol es: ¿cuál es el origen de esa violencia? Como se mencionaba con anterioridad, la violencia cobra variadas formas. ¿Es preciso, entonces, tratar cada caso desde una perspectiva especial o acaso es posible encontrar una raíz común? Esta es una de las tantas preguntas que el Delegado debe hacerse al comenzar su proceso de preparación para el Congreso. ¿Puede solucionarse de la misma manera la violencia que tenga por incentivo las diferencias religiosas o 4 Copyright © 2005 – 2016 ANU-AR. Todos los derechos reservados. ANU-AR | Asociación para las Naciones Unidas de la República Argentina étnicas o raciales o sociales? ¿O cada una de ellas amerita un trabajo distinto enfocado desde aquello que es uno de sus principales condimentos? Otra pregunta que no puede quedar pendiente: ¿quiénes originan la violencia? Hay quienes culpan a ciertos grupos organizados de hinchas que fomentan la agresividad en el fútbol (Barras Bravas en Latinoamérica, Hooligans en Inglaterra, Ultras M en Europa, etcétera). Muchos de ellos tienen importantes intereses económicos ligados a los clubes que alientan y pueden transformarse en verdaderas mafias, en auténticas organizaciones delictivas capaces de asesinar, incluso. Para otros la violencia está O enquistada en la sociedad, con más fuerza en unas que otras; posee una base cultural y social que no es fácil de modificar y cuyos cambios podrían llevar generaciones enteras N para gestarse. Los adeptos a esta idea creen que la violencia en los estadios no podrá solucionarse hasta no combatir de raíz algunos de los más preocupantes problemas estructurales de la sociedad: la desocupación, la inestabilidad económica, la depresión y U la desesperanza, la pobreza, el hambre, las deficiencias educativas, las carencias de vivienda, salud, trabajo digno e infraestructura, la delincuencia, los vicios como el C alcoholismo y la drogodependencia, la exclusión social, etcétera. Si esto es así, el trabajo es mucho más complejo e incluye asociarse con otras fuerzas para encontrar respuestas. Fuerzas como el Estado, asociaciones civiles, los medios de comunicación, el sector B privado y entidades supranacionales, por ejemplo. Entonces, ¿son sólo unos pocos delincuentes los que generan violencia en el fútbol o es un problema que compete a A cada miembro de la sociedad? Si respondemos que es la primera opción, nuestras soluciones podrán estar encaradas desde una perspectiva legal, a través de mejores leyes y/o del cumplimiento efectivo de las existentes, o podrán estar enfocadas desde la cuestión de la seguridad, mejorando los sistemas de control, aumentando el número de efectivos policiales, etcétera.

  • Flow Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship
    Welcome to the Congress To our Member Associations’ Presidents, Delegates and Guests, We begin this welcome letter for our 34th Concacaf Ordinary Congress with a great sense of pride about Concacaf. As we look back on last year — in fact, the last three years since our administration took office — it is remarkable how much our organization has accomplished on our journey to move football forward throughout the region. We are ONE family that works within a culture defined by a love for our game, with ONE mutual goal of becoming champions, on and off the field. Guided by our brand pillars of Unity, Football, Quality and Access, we continue to make excellent progress in the execution of our regional strategy. As a result, we are happy to report on another record year for our Confederation. First, from a competition standpoint, we have seen the introduction and expansion of tournaments aimed at raising the quality of Concacaf’s football, while creating more access to all of the game’s stakeholders. • There is tremendous pride in the launch of the Concacaf Nations League. When we see the results and emotions from our federation’s presidents, coaches, players, fans and the media, we can already perceive how our joint efforts are generating benefits of increased competition and development for the Confederation as a whole. • The expansion of the Concacaf Gold Cup, from 12 to 16 nations, is another signature achievement. More importantly, for the first time in the 15 editions of the competition, we are bringing our top national team championship to a Caribbean and Central American pitch.

  • Three Teams Withdraw from Women's CFU Cup
    Press Release 29 May 2014 | Kingston, Jamaica Three Teams Withdraw From Women’s CFU Cup The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) continues in its quest to successfully stage the inaugural Women’s Caribbean Cup despite the withdrawal of some teams. Due to varying reasons Dominica, Guadeloupe and Anguilla have all withdrawn from the competition. Dominica was the first team to announce their non-participation in Group 2 due to some members no receiving their United States Visa in time. This disappointment was compounded by the subsequent withdrawal of Guadeloupe in Group 4 who pulled out because of most of their players exhibiting symptoms of the Chikungunya Virus. The Anguilla Football Association informed the CFU that due to health issues being experienced by some of the players they would not be as to field a team in the tournament. The CFU is disheartened by these circumstances but understands the need for teams to make decisions that are in the best interest of their players and the larger regional football fraternity. Notwithstanding, while the withdrawals are disappointing, they have not affected the overall staging of the tournament which will be continuing with Group 5 in the Dominican Republic from 16 - 23 June 2014. ### About CFU CFU “Caribbean Football Union” is one of three Unions in CONCACAF (The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) and serves as the governing body of football in the Caribbean. It is composed of 31 national associations, from Bahamas in the north to Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana in the south. It spans 4 languages and composed of republics, independent countries and overseas territories of the UK, USA and Holland.
