PRIORITY GIVEN TO PROTECTION OF FIFA PRINCIPLE AND MEMBERS
(FIFA.com) Monday 29 October 2007
Under the leadership of its new chairman, FIFA Vice-President Geoff Thompson (England), the FIFA Associations Committee yesterday (28 October) discussed a number of cases and reaffirmed its dedication to uphold the principles laid down in the FIFA Statutes as well as protect its member associations from both internal and external forces.
In his opening remarks, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter praised the new chairman as being the perfect man to lead this important committee: "The Associations Committee is like a mini-congress of FIFA, as it is exclusively made up of association presidents," he said. "Having the vice-president representing the British associations, the motherland of the modern game, in the leadership role of protecting FIFA's members provides an excellent foundation for the future."
"We need to uphold our statutes for the protection of the game in countries that face difficulties, whether through internal strife or external governmental interference," said Mr Thompson. "We must be strong and we must be fair," he continued, "and with the support of my colleagues here, we will make a difference."
The primary focus of the meeting was to receive reports, discuss the many challenges facing FIFA's member associations around the world and decide upon the best steps forward to ensure progress in resolving the outstanding issues.
The following specific cases were discussed by the committee:
....................................
· Indonesia - FIFA sent a letter to the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) in June 2007 indicating that the association must reorganise elections, as the electoral process that took place on 20 April 2007 - the day after the ratification of the updated statutes - was not conducted in line with the timelines stipulated in the PSSI statutes. The committee ratified this decision and also decided that in accordance with the statutes, a person who has been convicted of a crime and is currently in prison would not be eligible to stand for election.
