FIFA

Fédération Internationale de Football Association

Junior Committee (Grade 6-8)

Agenda: The Addition of Bribery and Nepotism as Official FIFA Team Management Skills

Description


Welcome to the FIFA committee, a General Assembly-style forum where the future of the world's most beloved sport lies in your hands. FIFA, founded in 1904, has grown from a small federation of European football associations into the governing body that oversees international football, setting the standards for the sport, organising major tournaments like the World Cup, and promoting unity through competition.

However, the sport is at a critical juncture. Issues like governance, corruption, financial inequality between leagues, and the very integrity of the game are hotly debated across the globe. As delegates, you will be called upon to address these challenges and propose solutions that could alter the trajectory of football for generations to come.

FIFA has not only been responsible for the expansion and regulation of football but has also faced its share of controversies and crises. From allegations of corruption and mismanagement to the growing disparities between smaller footballing nations and elite clubs, the organisation's credibility and the very foundations of the sport have been called into question. These issues raise the stakes higher than ever, as global attention focuses on the decisions made here. The future of football must balance the preservation of its spirit with the evolution of modern governance, ensuring that it remains a sport for all.

The world is watching—will you safeguard the beautiful game's future or witness its decline? The choices made in this committee will shape the rules, ethics, and future of football as we know it.
