    Example of FIFA’s football parallel universe

    Ordinary people are losing faith in the people who run sport. Our recent poll of football fan shows that
    the organization that runs the sport, FIFA, does not represent them and is simply not trusted. Recent
    scandals in athletics and tennis only reinforce this.

    From poor governance and match-fixing to bribery and money-laundering, the many faces of corruption
    threaten the values that attract billions of people to watch and engage in sport.

    If we really want sport to be the basis for a better society, to be one of the pillars for human and social
    development, we need to rethink the rules of sports governance and their criteria of representation and
    accountability – and build something new, transparent and committed. - Raí Souza Vieira de Olivera,
    captain of the Brazilian 1994 World Cup winning team

    The Transparency International/Forza Football poll of 25,000 fans in 28 countries showed:

    ► 69 per cent of fans have no confidence in FIFA.

    ► 50 per cent said that FIFA had a chance to restore its reputation.

    ► 43 per cent said the scandals are affecting how they enjoy football.

    ► 60 per cent would not choose any of the current candidates standing in the FIFA presidential election
    this week.

    The past decade has seen the business of sport become a target for corruption. But, if the proper
    safeguards are in place and the necessary oversight is introduced, sport can clean up its act.

    When results – of games, of contests to host events or of elections to run sports bodies – are
    determined not by fair competition but by corruption, we feel betrayed. Cleaning up sport is therefore
    essential, not only for the good of the game but for the good of society as a whole. - Cobus de Swardt,
    Managing Director of Transparency International

    The Global Corruption Report: Sport looks at what has gone so badly wrong and what can be done to fix
    it. It examines the structures of sport, presents examples of good and bad practice and provides a
    platform to the various voices in the multi-billion-dollar business that sport has become: including the
    often-overshadowed views of athletes and fans.

    The report is divided into key sections covering:

    ► governance

    ► major sporting events, including the Olympics and the World Cup

    ► match-fixing

    ► money, markets and private interests in football

    ► the role of participants in sport

    Based on the report’s findings, Transparency International is putting forward a series of


    recommendations to governments, sports bodies and all participants on and off the field of play.
