Scorecard, February 2017
It is one year since Gianni Infantino was elected FIFA President on 26 February 2016. How well is he doing in transforming world football from a ‘mafia style organisation’ into a world sporting body fit-for-purpose in the 21st century?
We’ve developed a scorecard based on the 30 ‘reform’ measures agreed to by FIFA Congress one year ago. Mr Infantino’s priority as the new FIFA President was to implement the reform measures. Therefore, this scorecard also reflects his performance in the first 12 months in the job.
We have given a mark out of 10 for each measure where, on a scale of 0-10, 0 = not met, 5 = partially met, and 10 = fully met, with degrees in-between. The maximum possible score is 300.
Where possible, the score assigned and accompanying commentary to each measure is on the basis of available evidence, other than Section 1 where all measures are subjective.
It should be noted also that a high score does not necessarily equate to agreement to a particular reform measure; the score is simply a reflection of the extent to which it has been implemented.
#NewFIFANow believes that the systemic and cultural change needed to reform world football is much more significant than agreed to by the FIFA Congress in February 2016, and that world football is not capable of transformation under the current structure, management and leadership of FIFA. Take a look at our Charter and Guiding Principles.
