Panel approves reform package
Print Edition
FIFA’S executive committee approved a package of planned reforms yesterday aimed at cleaning up soccer’s scandal-plagued world governing body, proposing term limits for senior officials and increased representation for women.
The proposals, which would also reduce the power of the executive committee, will be presented in February to FIFA’s Congress, which has the power to alter the statutes.
At the same time, the executive committee delayed a decision on a controversial proposal to expand the World Cup from 32 to 40 teams. “These reforms are moving FIFA towards improved governance, greater transparency and more accountability,” FIFA’s acting president, Issa Hayatou, said in a statement.
Under the proposals, FIFA’s president and leading officials would be restricted to three terms of four years each, and would be subjected to centralized integrity checks before assuming office.
A FIFA Council, which would replace the executive committee, would be responsible for “setting the organization’s overall strategic direction, while the general secretariat will oversee the operational and commercial actions required to effectively execute that strategy”.
There would also be at least one female representative on the FIFA Council for each of the six continental confederations, FIFA said.
