La Liga chief seeks FIFA 鈥榬eformation鈥
Print Edition
The Spanish league president has demanded 鈥榓 complete reformation鈥 of FIFA, calling the current leadership either too stupid or too smart.
鈥淔IFA needs a complete reformation, a nirvana,鈥 LFP president Javier Tebas said in Shanghai yesterday. 鈥淧ersonally, I think the new president should have no connection at all with the old team, whose management of FIFA has been poor in the past few years.
鈥淭he old team has two types of people 鈥 either too stupid and don鈥檛 know anything, or too smart and know everything. It鈥檚 pointless for these people to be reelected.
鈥淎 person who has the courage and strength to build a cleaner and better organized FIFA should run for the presidency. However, what we see now is candidates representing continents 鈥 (Michel) Platini representing Europe, there is also candidate from Asia, etc. That鈥檚 what I鈥檓 not happy about. It鈥檚 not the right direction.鈥
FIFA announced last month that presidential elections will be held on February 26 next year, leaving Sepp Blatter with seven more months in power. The Swiss veteran resigned four days after his re-election in May amid American and Swiss criminal investigations into corruption at FIFA.
Tebas was in town for a series of promotional activities. He attended a table tennis friendly match between the Spanish national team and a local team at Shanghai Sports School on Monday.
He will be in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, today to sign a five-year La Liga TV broadcasting rights deal in China with PPTV.com, a video and live program provider.
