Everybody before you was accompanied. I assume you are unaccompanied - you are alone? President Blatter: Chairman, Mr President, yes, I am alone. Petrus Damaseb: Thank you very much, sir. President Blatter, as you are aware, we have convened this afternoon as a panel of the Ethics Committee at the request of the Secretary General of FIFA. The circumstances under which we convene relate to, as you know, the forthcoming elections for the presidency of FIFA and the allegations that have been made around that. The reason you are present here is that Mr Bin Hammam, who is in his own right an accused, has asked that a case be opened against you and that was referred to the Ethics Committee. For the record, as the Deputy Chairman of the Ethics Committee, I chair this meeting because our substantive Chairman, Claudio Sulser, because of his Swiss nationality and the fact that you are a contestant in the elections is an accused himself and therefore, in that capacity, I chair this meeting. As you know, I am a national of Namibia, a judge of the High Court of Namibia. I have with me Justice Torres, a judge of the Supreme Court of Guam, and I have Juan Pedro Damiani. Damiani, do you want to just briefly tell the President what you do? Juan Pedro Damiani: We know each other for some time now so, for the last 12 years, I've been Vice Chairman of the Uruguay Federation and now I'm President of the club Penarol.

  • A Finger in Every Pie: How Qatar Became an International Power As Hamas’S Main Sponsor, Qatar Has Funneled Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to Gaza in Recent Years
    A finger in every pie: How Qatar became an international power As Hamas’s main sponsor, Qatar has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza in recent years. By Asher Schechter | Aug. 9, 2014 | 9:07 AM | Two weeks ago the U.S. signed its largest arms deal this year: an $11 billion sale to Qatar. In the deal, signed by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and his Qatari counterpart, Hamad bin Ali al-Attiyah, the U.S. will sell dozens of Apache helicopters, hundreds of Patriot missiles and hundreds of anti-tank rockets to the emirate. This news would cause far less discomfort if Israel had not been attacked by dozens of rockets every day, some of them funded by Qatari money. Three days after the signing ceremony at the Pentagon, Israeli troops went into Gaza and began exposing dozens of attack tunnels that were also funded in part by Qatar. As Hamas’s main sponsor, Qatar has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza in recent years. The country allows high-ranking Hamas operatives such as Khaled Meshal to reside within its territory, travel in private aircraft, stay in luxury hotels and live like kings. And it has been exposed — not for the first time — as one of the biggest financial supporters of radical Islamic movements throughout the Middle East. Qatar’s openly declared support of Hamas did not stop it from playing a starring role in the conference on Gaza that was held in Paris. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with the foreign ministers of Qatar and Turkey, Khalid bin Mohammad al Attiyah and Ahmet Davutoglu, to try to bring about a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

  • Off Pitch: Football's Financial Integrity Weaknesses, and How to Strengthen
    Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington CID Working Paper No. 311 January 2016 Copyright 2016 Andrews, Matt; Harrington, Peter; and the President and Fellows oF Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Off Pitch: Football’s financial integrity weaknesses, and how to strengthen them Matt Andrews and Peter Harrington1 Abstract Men’s professional football is the biggest sport in the world, producing (by our estimate) US $33 billion a year. All is not well in the sector, however, with regular scandals raising questions about the role of money in the sport. The 2015 turmoil around FIFA is obviously the most well known example, creating a crisis in confidence in the sector. This study examines these questions, and the financial integrity weaknesses they reveal; it also offers ideas to strengthen the weaknesses. The study argues that football’s financial integrity weaknesses extend far beyond FIFA. These weaknesses have emerged largely because the sector is dominated by a small elite of clubs, players and owners centered in Europe’s top leagues. The thousands of clubs beyond this elite have very little resources, constituting a vast base of ‘have-nots’ in football’s financial pyramid. This pyramid developed in recent decades, fuelled by concentrated growth in new revenue sources (like sponsorships, and broadcasting). The growth has also led to increasingly complex transactions—in player transfers, club ownership and financing (and more)—and an expansion in opportunities for illicit practices like match-fixing, money laundering and human trafficking. We argue that football’s governing bodies – including FIFA – helped establish this pyramid.

DORSEY Trouble in Sport Paradise: Can Qatar Overcome the Diplomatic Crisis? The crisis in the Gulf pitting a United Arab Emirates­‑Saudi­‑led alliance against Qatar is the least of the country’s problems as it prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Indeed, Gulf States, primarily the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have long sought to discredit Qatar as a host prior to the UAE/Saudi Arabian declaration of a diplomatic and economic boycott in June 2017, yet Qatar has proven capable of addressing potential disruptions. However, the closer we come to the start of the tournament with the boycott still in place, the more difficult it will become for the boycotting states to include the World Cup in their embargo without provoking the ire of fans, attracting negative media coverage, and feeling pressured to concede.

  • Profesional Football
    PROFESSIONAL SOCCER BY ANDRIY ONO 2011 1 KATA PENGANTAR Indonesia dengan jumlah penduduk yang besar sangat menggemari dunia olahraga terutama sepakbola. Dewasa ini banyak dana digelontorkan untuk bidang sepakbola berbeda dengan olahraga lainnya. Akan tetapi menilik dari prestasi di kancah internasional tidak membanggakan. Untuk itu diperlukan sikap untuk perbaikan secara terus-menerus dan berkesinambungan atau semangat “kaizen” dan mengedepankan proses ketimbang hanya melihat suatu kegagalan dari sisi hasilnya saja. Apabila suatu individu atau organisasi bertindak sesuai dengan kesepakatan yang telah disepakati, sedangkan tindakan itu salah maupun tidak tepat, maka tindakan tersebut lebih baik daripada tidak bertindak sama sekali. Kekurangan yang ada dapat menjadi titik tolak melakukan langkah-langkah perbaikan. Menilik dari sejarah bangsa indonesia, paham imperialisme yang lebih menitikberatkan pada hasil baik didapat secara prosedural maupun bukan, halal atau haram sama saja, telah berkembang di masyarakat. Sehingga sering terjadi saling menyalahkan, menggunjing, permusuhan, di antara satu individu dengan lainnya dalam organisasi, institusi ataupun berbangsa bernegara. Bagaimana akan bersaing antar organisasi, institusi ataupun berbangsa bernegara, jika secara internal saja terjadi konflik berkepanjangan, tidak bersatu padu dalam visi maupun misi yang telah disepakati. Untuk itu mulai dari sekarang sikap-sikap buruk tersebut mulai segera dihilangkan! Pada tulisan kali ini sudah update yang ke sebelas, ini yang terakhir, dan saya tidak akan membahas lebih detil lagi, saya ketengahkan metode pelatihan para pemain sepakbola dan hal teknis yang harus dilakukan dalam latihan. Mungkin tutorial ini sudah cukup untuk menggambarkan tutorial latihan sepakbola yang bermutu. Saya persembahkan bagi hobiis sepakbola. Keseragamam pelatihan akan berdampak pada keseragaman kemampuan, terjalinnya komunikasi dan kerjasama yang baik antar pemain.

The climate in Qatar during the summer, when the tournament is traditionally held, is extremely hot, leading many in FIFA to consider potentially moving the tournament to the winter months. This move would have a major financial impact on professional soccer leagues in Europe and throughout the world, as well as on broadcasters and business partners.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Sunday Times Insight Investigations Team [WCB0006]
    Written evidence submitted by The Sunday Times Insight Investigations Team [WCB0006] 1. Background 1.1 When we appeared before your committee in July this year in response to your request for evidence regarding our Fifa Files investigation, you asked us to make further submissions in writing if we uncovered additional information in the future on the subject of corruption in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding contest which we considered to be of relevance to your work. 1.2 The Sunday Times has spent more than four years investigating the bidding process for the hosting of the 2018 and 2022 Fifa World Cups. This year, we have published evidence from a cache of hundreds of millions of documents passed to us by a whistle- blower from inside Fifa. Those documents – the Fifa Files – show that the bidding process was corrupted in favour of Qatar’s campaign to host the 2022 tournament by a string of illicit payments made by the country’s Fifa vice president Mohamed Bin Hammam to football officials around the world. The Qatar 2022 bid committee deny that he was working on their behalf. 1.3 To our surprise and dismay, Fifa’s investigator Michael Garcia did not examine our evidence before submitting his final report on alleged corruption in the 2018/2022 bidding process to Judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chair of Fifa’s adjudicatory chamber, in September.
