PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS The President began by emphasising the great diversity and vibrancy of the footballing community and the work it does in organising inspiring tournaments, thus changing lives and bringing joy to millions. He said that FIFA’s 209 member associations were one people brought together on the level playing field of football and united by the same goal to touch the world through the sport, develop the game and use its power and popularity to build a better future for the less fortunate. He said that football was a truly global movement with the ability to break down barriers and that there were few sports with the worldwide reach and influence that football enjoyed at all levels of society. The President reminded the Congress that they would be deciding the future of football by completing the FIFA reform process and improving the organisation of the game, thus setting the highest standards in good governance in sport. This would be achieved by reinforcing the sport’s defences, improving accountability and demanding more of decision-makers, specifically through integrity checks, punishment for those who let football down, greater powers for the FIFA Congress in choosing the hosts of the World Cup, female representation on the Executive Committee, and improved transparency. He said that as part of the reforms, the members would be asked to decide on the issue of introducing age limits and limits on terms of office, and voiced his opinion that if such limits were to be introduced, it would be necessary to introduce them across the board in the football community, as otherwise they would be sending a message of inconsistency to the world. He said that the final batch of reforms marked the pinnacle of 15 years of evolution at FIFA, where the focus had been on greater transparency, stability and accountability, and with achievements which included FIFA World Cup rotation, annual financial auditing for FIFA and the member associations, and the establishment of an ethics committee and a code of ethics, and that by completing the reform process, FIFA would emerge stronger than ever and would be in a position to use the power, financial potential and popularity of the sport to build a better future for those who need assistance. Turning his attention to protecting the integrity of the game, the President said that the politics of hate had no place in football, a sport of unity and equality, and called on all delegates to join together as one force to drive prejudice out and show the rest of the world how to behave and how to eradicate the scourge of racism and discrimination from each member association’s home nation. Similarly, he said the greatest threat to the future of the game was match manipulation, and urged the member associations to work with FIFA on educating players on the risks involved and how to deal with being approached by match-fixers, to cooperate with investigators at all levels, and to reassure fans that football’s integrity was rock solid. In closing, the President encouraged the members to actively participate in the Congress and to complete this reform phase by taking football to the next level.
