FIFA reform
Friday, 21 October 2011
In August, Transparency International (TI) published recommendations for building trust at FIFA. As part of the global TI response, TI-UK wrote to the Football Association asking for their support for the recommendations, and requesting their participation in the global debate on FIFA reform.
Today, the FIFA Executive Committee met to discuss the proposed reforms and announced the conclusions they reached at a press conference in Zurich. TI has released a press statement welcoming the announcement that FIFA will start a reform process to address allegations of corruption.
