  • 2016 FIFA R (OCTOBER 20, 2015) in Order to Restore Confidence In
    FINAL 2016 FIFA REFORM COMMITTEE STATUS OF REVIEW AND PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS (OCTOBER 20, 2015) In order to restore confidence in FIFA, significant changes to FIFA’s institutional structure and operational processes are necessary to make them more transparent and accountable. Essential changes to the culture of FIFA are necessary to effect lasting change on the organization and to restore FIFA’s reputation so that it can focus on its mission: to promote football throughout the world. 2016 FIFA REFORM COMMITTEE Members of the 2016 FIFA Reform Committee were appointed by the six Confederations of FIFA in August of 2015 and have been led by an independent chairman, Dr. Francois Carrard. The Reform Committee met in Bern, Switzerland on September 2 and 3, 2015 and again from October 16 through 18, 2015. Further meetings are planned for mid-November 2015. The Reform Committee plans to issue its report to the Executive Committee of FIFA at its December 2015 meeting in order to recommend relevant and appropriate changes to the statutes and regulations of FIFA to address this crisis in confidence with the goal to improve the governance, transparency and culture of FIFA. It is expected that these recommendations and proposed changes to the statutes, if approved by the Executive Committee, will be submitted for consideration by the FIFA Congress in February 2016. The status of the work in progress is set forth below: REFORM PRINCIPLES At this stage two sets of principles are proposed: Principles of governance reform Principles of leadership for FIFA to effect cultural change.

  • 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.

Wael Al-Qadi, who watched his Rovers team dramatically promoted to the third tier of the English league last weekend, said Leicester’s exploits this season should give hope to everyone outside the traditional big clubs. “What happened with Leicester, it just gives extreme motivation not only to clubs but for fans, for players,” the Jordanian said. “It’s fantastic for us in the lower leagues, you FIFA President Gianni Infantino think any of your players can become the next Jamie Vardy.” Vardy, famously, was playing non- league football just four years ago but his rapid FIFA unveils timetable for rise will likely see him named as a member of England’s European Championship squad to 2026 WCup bidding process play in France next month.

John Wooden1 INTRODUCTION In 1904 the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, universally known as FIFA, was established to organize, govern and promote “football,” the sport North Americans and Australians call “soccer.” Football has hundreds of millions of participants everywhere on Earth. Four-year old girls and boys and multi-millionaire superstars play this game, unquestionably the world’s most popular sport. In May and December 2015 the United States Department of Justice released two indictments charging more than forty FIFA-affiliated persons and entities with bribery and other corrupt transactions extending over twenty-four years.

  • Fifa Is Corruption: What Is to Be Done?1
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Michigan State University College of Law: Digital Commons FIFA IS CORRUPTION: WHAT IS TO BE DONE?1 Bruce W. Bean The Fédération International de Football Association (“FIFA”) has been administering international football (“soccer” in Australia, Canada and the U.S.)2 for more than a century. Gambling, match-fixing, bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption generally have been rampant in football for many decades.3 Despite universal knowledge of this corruption, the enduring intensity of interest of the three billion football fans can fairly be compared to the fervor of religious zealots.4 This article provides an overview of football corruption, emphasizing FIFA’s central role in maintaining its well-deserved reputation as a thoroughly corrupt, incorrigible organization that cares nothing for its deplorable reputation. The Article proceeds as follows. Part I provides the background of FIFA and describes its history of corruption and details the notorious 2010 selection by the FIFA Executive Committee of Russia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup competitions. Part II demonstrates FIFA’s most recent example of its complete lack of interest in addressing football corruption in any meaningful way by describing its so-called “reform” efforts triggered by the flawed December 2010 selection of Russia and Qatar as World Cup hosts. Part III describes the U.S. Department of Justice 2015 indictments of more than forty football-related individuals and entities and notes prosecutions in other jurisdictions triggered by this action. Part IV considers possible solutions to the endemic, systemic corruption of 5 the world’s most popular sport.
