FIFA will re-open the case into the collapse of its former marketing partner ISL, president Sepp Blatter said yesterday.
Blatter also said that FIFA would set up a new committee consisting of people from outside the organization, including representatives of clubs, leagues, players, referees and women's football, to ensure "good governance." Blatter told reporters in Zurich regarding the ISL case: "This is an issue which has been raised by the national associations and members of FIFA, the executive committee of FIFA has decided that this case should be opened." ISL went bankrupt in 2001. BBC's Panorama program said in November that documents relating to a criminal investigation into the ISL collapse are believed to show that senior FIFA officials were paid kickbacks in return for granting ISL lucrative World Cup television and sponsorship rights during the 1990s.
