Four of Europe’s leading domestic leagues have jointly called for fundamental reform of FIFA’s governance. Their statement seeks greater transparency, stronger checks on presidential power and a more meaningful role for leagues, clubs and players in major decisions.
The leagues proposed a permanent stakeholder body, independent impact assessments for major proposals and safeguards separating FIFA’s regulatory and commercial functions. Their intervention follows the withdrawal of FIFA Forward Enterprise and Gianni Infantino’s proposal for an external governance review.
