The 56th FIFA Congress in Munich will decide whether to amend the FIFA Statutes to add an Ethics Committee to the world governing body s two existing judiciary bodies when it convenes in Munich on 7-8 June,
after a proposal submitted by the Swiss football association gained the unanimous support of the FIFA Executive Committee during a meeting chaired by Joseph S. Blatter in the Bavarian capital on 4 June.
The setting up of an Ethics Committee as a judicial body is just one of the many challenges currently facing football that were identified by the 2005 FIFA Congress in Marrakech, Morocco, last September. The three working groups of the Task Force for the Good of the Game, a body that the last year s Congress agreed to create upon the proposal of President Blatter, have since drawn up the following concrete proposals, which will be presented to the Munich Congress in 13 motions, in order to raise standards of governance and increase transparency throughout football:
(Proposals from the Working Group for Political Matters)
- Drafting and approval of a standard partnership agreement between football associations and public authorities by the end of 2006.
- Drafting and approval of a standard electoral code for the member associations by the end of 2006.
- Establishment of arbitration at national level within the member associations (circular letter to be approved by the end of 2006).
- Creation of dispute resolution chambers at national level within the member associations on the basis of parity between employers and employees (circular letter to be approved by the end of 2006).
(Proposals from the Working Group for Financial Matters)
- Implementation of a worldwide information gathering process on ownership, control and influence of clubs.
- Creation and implementation of a computerised transfer contract matching system as from the 2008-2009 season at the latest.
- Improvement of the regulations monitoring the activities of players agents in order to increase transparency to be implemented as from the 2007-2008 season.
- Establishment of a worldwide information network (early warning system) with the confederations, member associations and betting organisations and the amendment of disciplinary codes with regard to betting issues.
- Establishment of a worldwide club licensing system with the confederations and member associations within the next 5 years.
(Proposals from the Working Group for Competitions)
- Maximum of 18 clubs in professional domestic football leagues.
- Coordination of confederations competitions.
- Study of an insurance mechanism for players participating in international competitions involving clubs, associations, confederations and FIFA.
- Study of a proposal to allow a choice of days for back-to-back international matches (currently Saturday and Wednesday, extra option for Saturday and Tuesday).
