FIFA Once again in the international Federations along with the best Government Standards
FIFA Once again in the international Federations along with the best Government Standards. FIFA made an entry into the international Federations. FIFA has always been considered one of the finest international sporting federations as this organization follows the best standards of Governance. This review got conducted by the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.
There are 33 international federations, and FIFA is placed 7th among those federations. FIFA earned a score of 175 points out of 200. FIFA is now in the group “A1” which is considered “an exclusive group”.
All the participating federations got categorized into 5 groups, and the target score was set at 130. The members of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations consider this target score as the most satisfactory one. ASOIF has conducted the review, and as a result, FIFA’s Governance work will further get recognized.
It was the fourth review conducted by ASOIF, and the prime aim of the project is to promote and ensure a culture of good Governance. This project aids in driving continuous progress.
The review done by ASOIF is mainly based on the context of the persisting pandemic situation worldwide. However, this review was conducted before Russia’s sudden invasion of Ukraine. It’s true that this sudden Ukraine-Russia war has raised an uncertain situation in the world of Sport.
The ASOIF review is done on five aspects of Governance. The aspects that are mainly covered are control mechanisms, transparency, democracy, development, and integrity. Again, these aspects are categorized into ten sub-sections. These sub-sections are again numbered from zero to four.
The ASOIF review started with the self-assessment in January and February. The international federations were asked to fill up the questionnaire. The review allots scores for every question and delivers descriptive proof for their evidence. A peripheral sports Governance consultancy has done the assessment independently.
