October 3 – FIFA has taken the remarkable step to accuse part of the most influential stakeholder bodies of football as “forming a threat to the existing global pyramid structure”.
Although it does not directly call one of the organizations, FIFA clearly refers to the challenges it has had both publicly and in the European courts through Players’ Union FIFPRO and the World Leagues and European Leagues Associations. The Minister of EU sport has also attacked FIFA and its administrative structures about the threat it is for the European sports model.
By condemning the ‘public attacks’, FIFA also tries to snore the bodies and express their freedom to express their opinion when they have been denied every opportunity to express them before FIFA has completed its decision -making.
The most important thing is among these decisions taken the expansion of the international calendar that all stakeholders agree that the world’s leading players put under extreme pressure with increased schemes and new competitions, in particular the extensive club world cup.
This in turn had a harmful effect on the sporting integrity of competitions that are forced in work arounds to meet the FIFA schedule.
After the meeting of this week of the FIFA council, a FIFA press statement said that the council was updated on public attacks, legal challenges and the continuous lack of transparency, administration and stability of certain organizations. The motivations of these organizations fall outside the established pyramid model that supports club and national team football on global, continental and national level. ‘
It is a stunning attempt to rework the story and the accusations made against FIFA and his leadership that his new competitions – and in particular the Club World Cup – destabilize for domestic competitions that are the foundation of the professional game, and that the increased workload in danger of the player and career.
It is the ambition of FIFA for its extensive national team and new club competitions – which never existed before – that are the new elements that have been introduced in the global football pyramid. The new FIFA competitions have changed the established pyramid level, not the established competitions.
Fifa said: “The FIFA council acknowledged that this is a threat to the existing global football pyramid structure and repeated the need to be strong and united in the light of these attacks.”
The World Leagues Association and FIFPRO still have to respond to the Sabre-rattle rhetoric of FIFA.
Their concern has always been aimed at representing the interests of their members in the decision -making process. The members of FIFA are completely different national associations that can regulate the rules and disciplinary football in their country, but are generally newcomers, just like FIFA, in club competition and are not responsible for paying players.
The argument has been about their exclusion and the repeated refusal to be heard has led to the legal challenges against FIFA.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino gives it a different twist.
“FIFA will continue to invite all stakeholders who are interested in a meaningful dialogue to protect players, to find the right balance between club and national team football at a global level and to improve football for the future.”
The problem for the competitions and player unions is that this is exactly what FIFA did not do and that every pretension of FIFA that they have received a voice at the decision -making table and that their positions are taken into account is a lie.
FIFA’s comments and attempts to use his advice to bully competitions and trade unions in line, probably only seems to throw more fuel on a fire that gets out of hand.
