Infantino open to governance review
Gianni Infantino, President of the International Football Federation (FIFA), proposed conducting an external review and assessment of the governance mechanisms and decision-making processes within the federation, aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability. This came after plans to execute a sale of a stake in the commercial rights for the World Cup tournaments—plans that were later abandoned—raised widespread concerns and criticisms from continental associations and FIFA members. The proposal seeks to improve decision-making processes and clarify the roles of the president, the executive council, and the general assembly, while considering how to implement changes in a way that fosters trust and ensures transparency. These issues will be discussed at the council meeting scheduled for October 15, and any amendments to the bylaws will require approval from the general assembly.
