II. MEMBERSHIP<br />

Article 18 Status of Leagues and other groups of clubs<br />

14<br />

1 Leagues or any other groups affiliated to a Member of <strong>FIFA</strong> shall be<br />

subordinate to and recognised by that Member. The Member’s<br />

statutes shall define the scope of authority and the rights and<br />

duties of these groups. The statutes and regulations of these groups<br />

shall be approved by the Member.<br />

2 Every Member shall ensure that its affiliated clubs can take all<br />

decisions on any matters regarding membership independently of<br />

any external body. This obligation applies regardless of an affiliated<br />

club’s corporate structure. In any case, the Member shall ensure<br />

that neither a natural nor a legal person (including holding<br />

<strong>com</strong>panies and subsidiaries) exercises control over more than one<br />

club whenever the integrity of any match or <strong>com</strong>petition could be<br />

jeopardised.
