Football they say is the beautiful game, but at the moment there's nothing beautiful about FIFA, football's world governing body. As we've been hearing in the news of BBC, investigation has found that African footballers as young as 14 may be being trafficked to Asia, something FIFA regulations prohibit. Separately FIFA senior officials have been accused of bribery, fraud and money laundering. Some are under arrest in the United States. FIFA and its president Sepp Blatter have the FBI at their door and Swiss forensic accountants closing in. The organisation wants to change. Also it says at a news conference at its headquarters in Zurich on Monday, Mr Blatter announced that a new president will replace him in a vote next February.
There will be new election, election for a new president. I insisted on that. It's not only for a president, for a new president. I cannot be the new president, because I'm an old president. Not, not too old, but old.
Other changes to FIFA include integrity checks on senior officials, limits on how long they can hold onto their positions and public disclosure of their earnings. But are all these steps enough to change FIFA? |
