FIFA co-opted a woman to its executive committee for the first time yesterday and continued its reform process by pressing ahead with changes to its ethics committee.
Lydia Nsekera, the president of the Burundi Football Association, will be installed as the co-opted executive committee member at the 62nd FIFA Congress this week with the formal election of a woman on the committee to follow at next year's Congress.
Nsekera, 45, is a member of the women's football and the women's World Cup committees and is also on the organizing committee for the Olympic Football Tournaments having been part of the International Olympic Committee since 2009.
FIFA also confirmed its ethics committee is being restructured with a new system involving two committees to be established - one to investigate matters and the other to adjudicate on them.
