B. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
1 The Executive Committee consists of 24 members:
1 President, elected by the Congress
8 vice-presidents, and
15 members, appointed by the Confederations and Associations.
2 The President shall be elected by the Congress for a period of four
years in the year following a FIFA World Cup. His mandate shall
begin after the end of the Congress which has elected him. A
President may be re-elected.
3 The members of the Executive Committee shall be appointed by the
respective Confederations, with the exception of the vice-president
representing the four British Associations, who is elected by the
latter. All Confederations and the four British Associations shall pass
a single decision as to when they wish to appoint or elect their
member(s) to the FIFA Executive Committee. The subsequent
Congresses of the Confederations and the four British Associations
shall take this decision within one year of these Statutes coming
into force. When making the appointments, a Confederation may
appoint or reappoint only half of its members (in the case of odd
numbers, half of the appointments plus or minus one), and only
every two years. The Executive Committee members’ mandates shall
last for four years, starting upon their installation by the FIFA
Congress. If a Confederation or the four British Associations decide
to change the year for making appointments or holding an election
in its statutes, the mandate of the vice-president and members
appointed to the FIFA Executive Committee will be extended by one
year, but only once.
An installed member of the Executive Committee may only be
removed from office by the FIFA Congress.
