Challenges
Delivering good governance principles in the football community: specific challenges due to the size and diversity of the stakeholders
• 209 member associations covering the entire globe
• 6 confederations
• Countless leagues, clubs, players and officials, etc.
• Highly diverse backgrounds, e.g. cultural, legal, religious, etc.
⇒ Good governance principles must be applied in a uniform manner
