FIFA is set to create dozens of new committees and expert panels which would reverse a governance reform passed in 2016. Then, the world soccer body terminated most committees while in turmoil during corruption scandals.

The new slate of committees under article 39 of FIFA’s statutes being proposed to the next congress on May 17 in Bangkok, Thailand, includes a dedicated “Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Committee.”within months of Infantino taking over, saying its work was complete. A new anti-racism body has been worked on with Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward

The expansion is designed to “reflect the increasing breadth and depth of FIFA’s activities in recent years, allowing for more member associations to be directly involved in the democratic decision-making processes,” FIFA said. It said FIFA presidents should be capped at a maximum 12 years in office, but Infantino is on track to stay for 15. A statutes amendment after Infantino was elected meant finishing Blatter’s mandate from 2016-19 did not count against his limit.Promoting women officials and tackling discrimination in soccer should also be strengthened by the latest FIFA statutes update. The draft proposal obliges the 211 national member federations to pursue those goals.
