The Organization of FIFA

Background On FIFA

  • Was founded in 1904 since there was a need for a single body to oversee all of association football.
  • Central government run by the FIFA Congress, where each of the 209 countries have one vote.
  • Run by a President by the name of Sepp Blatter
  • Claims to be a non-profit organization that exists for the "Three Pillars" of their Mission statement.
  • Developing football everywhere and for all
  • Organizing inspiring tournaments
  • Caring about society and the environment
  • All this seems fine and dandy right?

EVIL

Aren't there laws to stop FIFA?

NO!

  • FIFA has over $1 billion dollars in revenue, while Sepp Blatter has stated that this money is "a reserve".
  • FIFA claims that they do not have to follow certain laws of the hosting country, since they have their own governing body.
  • An example of this is how FIFA pressured the Brazilian government to lift it's alcohol ban in stadiums, in order for FIFA to sell Budweiser beer, one of it's sponsors.
  • This law originally was created in order to curb the massive amount of sport related violence that resulted in the death of over 11 people in the early 2000's.
  • There are no rationals for a non-profit organization to make this much money.

Corruption

  • If everyone knew about these facts, they would never look at FIFA the same way again and hopefully will realize just how morally unjustifiable there actions are.
  • And that is why FIFA needs to be exposed and reformed in order to save countless lives and restore the integrity of the soccer world.
  • I will now leave you with a video of Sepp Blatter falling off a stage.
  • The 2022 World Cup bid was won by Qatar.
  • The average temperature in this country when the World Cup is played is 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Workers are not allowed to leave the country, while on average 4,000 workers die each year since there are no safety regulations.
  • Homosexuality is illegal, and when Blatter was questioned on this serious matter he jokingly stated, "I would say the 'gay fans' should refrain from any sexual activites."
  • It is widely thought that Blatter rigged the bidding for personal and political gain.
