AFC Joins UEFA and CONCACAF to Protect FIFA World Cup Integrity
AFC Stands in Solidarity with UEFA and Concacaf to Protect the FIFA World Cup
The Asian Football Confederation stands with UEFA and CONCACAF against FIFA's proposed Forward Enterprise, warning that private investment threatens the World Cup's unity. We argue that the current governance failures and lack of meaningful consultation risk a global boycott. FIFA must urgently reform its decision-making processes to ensure transparency and collective ownership of the game's future.
Meaningful democracy is not measured solely by the opportunity to vote. It begins with transparent governance, timely consultation, informed deliberation and genuine participation throughout the decision-making process.

This is what happens when you elect a corrupt real estate developer who hires all of his corrupt real estate developer family members and in-laws and turns them loose on the planet with the waning hard power of the US government behind them, and you cross that with the traditional corruption of international sports federations, especially FIFA. But Saudi golf is trying as hard as they can to play in the same league.

You know what they say, “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it”, and FIFA is really damaging their pristine reputation with this one.

What would be a huge news for me is if the CAF which is probably competing with FIFA on the corruptest sports organization come in support.
