FIFA names reform task force chief
Print Edition
FORMER International Olympic Committee director general Francois Carrard has been appointed as chairman of the new FIFA reform task force, the governing body for world football said yesterday.
The 77-year-old Swiss, who guided the IOC through its own corruption scandal following the vote for 2002 Winter Olympics, won by Salt Lake City, will head the group charged with reforming the scandal-hit FIFA.
FIFA said that each of the six continental football confederations would have two representatives on the task force, while there would also be two members appointed by FIFA’s commercial partners, to be announced.
Those named included Gianni Infantino, secretary general of European soccer’s governing body UEFA, and Alasdair Bell, UEFA’s legal director.
Asia’s representatives were Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahad al-Ahmed al-Sabah from Kuwait, a member of FIFA’s executive committee, and Australia’s Kevan Gospar, former vice-president of the IOC.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who is due to stand down in February when a new election will be held, said Carrard was the “right man” with a “proven track record”.
FIFA said: “Over the next six months, the committee will develop a package of reform proposals that will be put before the extraordinary elective Congress due to take place in Zurich on 26 February 2016.”
