PRESSURE Mounts on Blatter AS FIFA Scandal Widens Sports FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015 Sponsors pile pressure on Blatter ahead of vote ZURICH: Sponsors piled pressure on FIFA leader Sepp Blatter to clean up world football as two major corruption scandals overshadowed the start of a congress yesterday at which he will seek a new term. The beleaguered 79-year-old president met with the heads of all six football confederations on Thursday, according to sources who gave no details about the talks. Amid some calls for him to stand down. Blatter remains favourite to win the presidential election today however. Credit card giant Visa said it would “reassess” its sponsorship of FIFA unless it takes immediate action after the arrest of top FIFA leaders accused by US authorities of taking huge bribes. While Swiss police are investigating the award of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, US documents indi- cate that South Africa paid bribes to FIFA officials to secure the 2010 World Cup. Visa said that unless FIFA rebuilds a corporate culture with “strong ethical practices” at its heart, “we have informed them that we will reassess our sponsorship”. Coca-Cola, Adidas, McDonald’s and Budweiser all spoke out against the corruption scandal. Corporate backers provide hundreds of millions of dollars to FIFA’s finances. NO PLAN TO QUESTION BLATTER FIFA’s annual congress starts in Zurich on Thursday but its leader stayed out of the public eye as the corruption storm grew. But Swiss authorities said Thursday there were no plans as yet to question Blatter.

  • Sociology of a Scandal
    Soccer & Society, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14660970.2016.1228591 Sociology of a scandal: the emergence of ‘FIFAgate’ Emmanuel Baylea* and Hervé Raynerb aInstitut of Sport Sciences (ISSUL), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland; bResearch Centre for Political Action (CRAPUL), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland This article examines the social forces underlying FIFAgate. Why do corrupt practices, which are often highly consolidated or even institutionalized, suddenly become scandalous? What is a scandal? Why did FIFA fall into crisis in 2015 and not before? To answer these questions, it is necessary to look at the sequence of thrusts and parries between all the parties involved. Our analysis embraces the notion that social processes are based on relationships in order to provide insights into why and how denunciations can lead to long-tolerated corrupt practices sud- denly becoming compromising enough to force an organization’s leaders to implement measures that would have previously been unimaginable. We use mul- tiple sources to examine the emergence of FIFAgate and the way FIFA overcame previous critical situations, describing how FIFA neutralized earlier allegations and developed a remarkable ‘resilience’ to scandal. Finally, we analyse the suc- cessive mobilizations whose domino effect led to the emergence of FIFAgate and the measures FIFA took to contain the scandal. Our research enabled us to draw up a new theoretical model for analysing corruption scandals. Introduction Christian Favre, journalist, radio news presenter: ‘To conclude, does Sepp Blatter, as we are often told, does he run his FIFA honestly or not?’ Joël Robert, journalist, head of the sports desk: ‘Well, you know, he runs it honestly because, logically and legally, there have been legal proceedings, but Blatter and FIFA have never been caught out.

  • REPORT From: Geoff Thompson (Chairman DRC, Member Players’ Status Committee and Member Club Football Committee) To: 65Th FIFA Congress in Zurich
    REPORT From: Geoff Thompson (Chairman DRC, member Players’ Status Committee and member Club Football Committee) To: 65th FIFA Congress in Zurich Re: 11.1 Update on third-party ownership (TPO) Dear President, Dear members of the FIFA Executive Committee, Dear delegates of the FIFA member associations, On the occasion of the 64th FIFA Congress, the creation of a dedicated working group under the Players’ Status Committee (“PSC”) was announced with the aim of analysing all possible regulatory options in relation to the third-party ownership of players’ economic rights (“TPO”). The working group’s task was to submit the respective regulatory proposal to the Players’ Status Committee and finally to the Executive Committee in May 2015 so that the 65th FIFA Congress receives the respective update. It was my pleasure and privilege to chair this working group. In this respect, the first meeting of the relevant working group was held on 2 September 2014, and attended by representatives of the football community at confederation, member association, league and club level as well as by representatives of FIFPro. Representatives from Brazil, England and Portugal explained the applicable approaches regarding investment in players’ economic rights both at the level of sporting regulations as well as national laws, which was followed by an exchange of views on possible options that ranged from transparency measures, to establishing specific requirements and limitations in terms of quality and quantity, to a prohibition of TPO. There was consensus within the group that the current approach focusing on third- party influence needed to be reconsidered and that the international transfer matching system provided by FIFA TMS GmbH would be of assistance in the implementation of the option ultimately chosen.

  • • UNCAC Open-Ended Inter-Governmental Working Group
    UNCAC Open-ended Inter-governmental Working Group on Prevention of • Corruption (22-24 August, 2016, Vienna) The use of information and communication technologies for the implementation ofthe UNCAC Information and communications technologies (leT) have been hailed as the answer to practical problems of increasing transparency and public accountability in public administration. leT can make it easier for citizens to scrutinize government activity and to voice concerns and opinions about its performance. The use of leT in public administration also presents two types of corruption prevention challenges. The first is that fraudulent activity in public administration, as elsewhere, can be made easier and more damaging by using leT. Secondly corruption risks can arise from the increasing depe-ndence of public sector agencies on leT to run their operations. Both the purchase and maintenance of leT systems requires technical expertise that may be lost as public administration prioritizes core functions over administrative support. Buying in this expertise without due diligence exposes public authorities to the challenges of a contractor workforce mentioned earlier but with the potential for greater damage than in many other administrative support functions. The core challenge is in maintaining costly expertise. leT plays a role in preventing corruption not only in accountability and transparency but also by supporting the quality of an organization's operational efficiency and robust internal ~!overnance. Inside public sector agencies, electronic records management systems can improve the quality, reliability - and even the existence - of public records and administrative performance generally. Electronic data can also facilitate more efficient auditing and ex post investigation of processes and analysis of corruption risks that can be used as strategic intelligence to improve systems.

  • FIFA Corruption Issue Has Been Covered from Media All Over the World, and This Issue May Harm FIFA’S Reputation, Especially Among Partners and Stakeholders
    Public Relations Journal Vol. 11 Issue 2 (October 2017) © 2017 Institute for Public Relations Managing the Reputation of the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA): The case of the corruption crisis Labiba Abdel Naby. Ibrahim Lecturer, Mass Communication Department, Faculty of Arts, Helwan University (HU), Egypt Abstract Reputation management is essential to associations, particularly after a crisis. As an example, a corruption crisis happened after Swiss authorities arrested some Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) officials and issued criminal charges regarding bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup. There is considerable scrutiny of how profit and nonprofit corporations manage their reputations after crises, with less attention focused on international associations. This case study examines how FIFA used the media and communication strategies to protect its reputation after the corruption scandal of May 2015. We analyze FIFA news releases, examine press conferences, and investigate its website, including how this crisis affected relationships with stakeholders (largely sponsors and partners).It is understood that reputation management and open communication channels help rebuild trust. This study shows that FIFA depended on a “Deny strategy” to avoid responsibility, as there was no benefit in using the mass media. They organized a press conference to make a few statements via their official website, with little media use. Keywords: FIFA's reputation, reputation management, crisis communication, FIFA, crisis management. Introduction Sport is a multi-billion-dollar, worldwide industry. Most countries compete against each other for the right to hold sporting events including the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, America's Cup and other such events principally for financial development purposes (Ben Sulaymen et al., 2013, p 20).
