FIFA is one of the most corrupt organisations in the world. Unfortunately, no one dares take any action against them.
Linked to the extended family of a certain orange nonce…
Serious question: What does it take to get rid of, or investigate a FIFA president? Because this whole FIFA peace prize nonsense is starting to make sense.
Good. I really hope UEFA decides to leave FIFA and do their own thing, the World Cup was an absolute farce from start to finish, and the future doesn’t sound too bright with the corrupt rigging involved to get it in Saudi in 2034.
A World Cup without European teams is crap, so I’d imagine the other continents would want to follow and be involved with whatever UEFA does.
Don’t be “deeply concerned”. Get together with all the other European associations and UEFA and tell them that if they go ahead with it no European teams will be competing. Well, maybe Russia. This needs to be killed off quickly in the same way that the European Super League was.
At this juncture, I would strongly advocate for the FA and UEFA leaving FIFA.
They are not running our sport in its best interests, they are running it for the personal profit of individuals.
The continental associations can easily replace FIFA. The only things they’re really needed for is setting a common set of rules and running the men’s and women’s World Cups.
They don’t do anything to advance the sport at a grassroots level, promote women’s involvement in the game or ensure that the playing field is kept level at this point.
FIFA seems to have lost objectivity of its existence – what will stop European countries to pull out and create a new body and set the demise of FIFA?
Then do something instead of being deeply concerned every time FIFA does something shit
I honestly have a hard time feeling even a shred of sympathy for anyone besides the fans here.
FIFA should have been brought to heel and deeply purged after the Blatter debacle, but instead all the FAs and other bodies were more than happy to keep the corruption train going, and now they find themselves caught on the tracks and potentially it’s next victims.
I look forward to hearing about nothing happening, nobody doing anything and the FIFA world cup continuing, business as usual, because nobody involved not the organisations or fans are willing to be inconvenienced or miss out.
A law unto themselves. Only need to look at the relationship between Trump and Infantino to see the level of corruption they operate on.
The idea is good that every country has an equal vote, but its made it too easy for successive fifa chairs to bribe small countries that need the money and dont care about football
Time to start pulling out of association with FIFA then.
FIFA is an organisation which needs member FAs to survive, if we all leave then it dies.
I think if geo-politics is anything to go by it’s obvious that Europe is weak and highly risk averse. There’s no way UEFA will do shit. Trump has shown that if you want to do anything, JFDI.
A few posts on your social feeds “strongly condemning” is all we can expect from UEFA.
Silly to think they’ll do anything that’s not passive.
This may be a bit defeatist, but imo football is too far gone to realistically argue with FIFA about it. To say the world cup belongs to the fans and is not for sale, while those same fans club is owned by a Saudi conglomerate, plays at the „Corporation X“ stadium and gets half their income from pushing gambling adverts to kids? Football was sold off years ago, the world cup is just the latest casualty.
6 out of 8 quarter finalist in the last World Cup were from Europe, FIFA are nothing without UEFA so if the English FA can come to an agreement with Spain, France, Germany etc they hold a pretty good leverage
I’m honestly dumbfounded that we went from Sepp Blatter to someone 100x worse than him and all his cronies.
Yet the FA were happy to back Infantino for another term.
FIFA’s issues didn’t suddenly appear overnight. Corruption and poor governance have been discussed for years, yet only now, after the Trump/red card fiasco and mounting public backlash, does the FA seem prepared to take a stand. Where was this resolve years ago? They’re one of the most influential associations in world football, but they’ve spent far too long hiding behind everyone else instead of leading the charge for change.
Being ‚deeply concerned‘ obviously isn’t going to cut it. The statement would have been a lot stronger if they were going to do anything about it. Just more yankification and Europe being completely spineless as usual.
UEFA should suspend their participation until Infantino resigns.
Start an FA home nations tournament. England, Wales Scotland, Ireland etc. A bit like the ‚Six Nations Rugby‘
Id genuinely be thrilled if this finally gets uefa to break away from FIFA. One of the worst most disgusting organisations in the world and not just counting sports.
Criminals, despots, murderers, who cares if you got bank.
Hot take – UEFA should buy the available 20% of FIFA, and then use their extra weight in the organisation to bin off Infantino.
If UEFA clubs just boycotted the World Cup it would make a difference, it would be shite without all the Euro teams.
UEFA should just call their bluff. You can’t have a World Cup without UEFA teams.
Just threaten them with no UEFA presence in World Cup in 2030 and instead we have a Euro 2030. He’d soon back down. And if this scenario actually happened it would be sad but worth it to get rid of Infantino.
Everything Trump touches dies.
Any real talk of leaving FIFA and forming an alternative that isn’t so corrupt?
UEFA and the European FAs could end FIFA tomorrow. Time to start actually using the massive leverage we have, there is no World Cup without the European teams
If they sell the rights to the World Cup, someone else should just have a separate „World Football Championship“ where nations compete against each other in an eerily similar format.
Call it. Cut ties and start something new. It’ll only get worse.
UEFA need to break away from FIFA and create their own governing body, take the money making European teams completely with them if FIFA go ahead with this.
UEFA isn’t perfect but FIFA is done, and we thought Blatter was corrupt, its now a whole new level.
This organization should have been beheaded a long time ago
Of course Jared kushner is in line to run the subsidiary, my god
>UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham struck a similar tone on social media this morning.
>“The World Cup is not a product,“ he posted.
>“It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone’s to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.“
Lovely sentiment but also ungrounded in reality. Football is a product, fans are customers. This has been the case as long as I’ve been alive. People who call it „the people’s game“ are living in some grand delusion that it’s still the 1980s
Hydration breaks will become the norm. The trumps cant leave that advertising revenue off the table and infantino would sell his mum for 20p
Fifa isn’t football. It’s just a private company that organises competitions. Far more people play footy on a sunday morning over the park with a hangover than at an elite level.
They can have their novelty leagues if they want. And there’s no reason someone else can’t start another company that is more football, rather than money oriented.
I grew up wishing desperately for Sepp Blatter to be removed and FIFA to be cleaned up. 30 yers later and I would take the old school corruption over Ifantinos brazen narcissistic corrupt pure greed every day of the week. Our Institutions have gotten more corrupt and the corporations and politicians that prop them up are so knee deep in their own greed none of them can be trusted with a tenner. I would support a european boycott of the World Cup if it came to that
FIFA have probably seen how trump is getting away with this sort of stuff in the US and thinks it can get away with it too.
