  • 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.

  • 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.
