🗣️ Players' union FIFPRO issue a statement on FIFA Forward Enterprise highlighting "a profound abuse of presidential power".
"FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) is gone. The abuse of power that produced it is not. Governance reforms, not a cover-up, are urgently needed.
"The withdrawal of FFE was inevitable. But withdrawing the proposal does not erase what it revealed.
"A plan capable of permanently altering the ownership and governance of the FIFA World Cup, and commercialising the competitions built by generations of players, was conceived in secrecy, negotiated behind closed doors and brought to the brink of agreement before the FIFA Council, the Member Associations, players and football’s recognised stakeholders even knew it existed.
"That is not merely a governance failure. It is a profound abuse of presidential power.
"We have noted FIFA's internal update from its meeting in Rabat, Morocco with deep concern. Rather than confronting what happened, it reaffirms support for the organisation’s leadership while reducing a fundamental governance and constitutional failure to a matter of 'processes and communications' to be 'improved'.
"Most telling is FIFA's own insistence that, despite the 'mistakes' it admits, everything was done 'in full compliance with the FIFA regulatory framework'. If true, that is not a defence. It is an indictment of FIFA’s current governance framework...
"We also note FIFA's warning that it "will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity". Let us be clear: scrutiny of football’s governance is not an attack. It is the duty of everyone who sustains the game."
‘FIFA will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process and will take all necessary measures to protect and safeguard its name and reputation’
Also FIFA integrity and good governance
• Infantino shutting down the integrity commissions when they were investigating him
• FIFA Peace Price to @realDonaldTrump
• Folarin Balogun
• Dynamic Pricing
• ‘Blackmailing’ Jordan
• rushed vote for Saudi Arabia 2038
• Visas for Africa
Really looking forward to having this conversation @fifamedia
People talking without facts. Acting like Mata wasn't our best player when he went to United. We've sold to big clubs before. Abramovic only refused to sell to spurs.
Roman Abramovich would never weaken his team by selling his best players to another Big Six club.
We’re not getting close to the Premier League title any time soon💔
NEW: Confederation of African Football executive committee “unanimously reconfirmed its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino and thanked him for his support for African Football, over the years”.
“Adherence to governance, due process and transparency is crucial and non-negotiable”
Yet…
“CAF EXCO also unanimously reconfirmed its support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino and thanked him for his support for African Football, over the years” 🥴
Totally expected, but still supremely disappointing
199 - Nigeria have scored 199 goals in CAF Women's AFCON history, at least 103 more than any other nation in the competition (South Africa, 96).
Unrivalled.🇳🇬
They are in the the stronger position
1 year left in his contract
Has given priority to real Madrid
If man City don't want to get zero for him next summer then they'll have to reduce that price tag 😂😂
Does bro know they always keep stats like this? xg and over 2.5 are different bro. XG calculated the quality and likely good of scoring from a position it just gives context to shots taken stats
I have a question for @CAF_Online: Why are goal scoring probabilities appearing on a #WAFCON match telecast? Do you know the ethical implications of allowing this?
