FIFA, apel la reforme după Mondialul din 2026

Alain Berset, Secretary General of the Council of Europe, suggests initiating a dialogue with FIFA to reform football integrity ahead of the 2026 World Cup. This follows numerous controversies during the current tournament in North America. The proposed project, 'Before the Final Whistle', aims to gather FIFA, public authorities, and international sports organizations to establish a new integrity framework. Issues highlighted include disciplinary sanction suspensions, referee authority doubts, racism incidents, and the rise of sports betting. The final match is set for July 19, featuring Spain and Argentina.
