Vladislav Voronin said the main plans of the new football boss Gianni Infantino.
The new FIFA president was Gianni Infantino – former UEFA general secretary, who always held the draw, Platini helped to expand the European Championship to 24 teams, and developed the financial fair play. Voting for the first time it was held in two rounds in 1974 – a persistent struggle has provided a strong Asian candidate, Sheikh Salman, who was so confident of victory that last week stopped rolling on the world
Infantino, do not stop the campaign. until the deadline approaches, he took the lead in the first round (88 votes to 85), and then took the absolute majority in the stragglers candidates (115 versus 88 in Salman).
How did he get into the presidential race?
As Salman, as a result of a corruption scandal in FIFA. Infantino and Bahraini sheik supported Michel Platini, but when it was suspended for 8 years, we had to act on their own. Gianni put forward at the last moment the European Association. “We just had a coin toss, and dropped my name – as a joke Infantino, but then added severely. – Actually, I’m not someone’s puppet in this race »
However, the Swiss with Italian roots has promised to withdraw from the election if would have justified the Court of Arbitration for Sport Michel Platini.. Since the demonstration of real independence, maturity and willingness to be a tough boss is yet to come.
So why Infantino many seemed ideal president?
First, it is not implicated in any scandal (for at least publicly). At Sheikh Salman with this simple matter, throughout the English newspapers rattled investigations race: he helped send to the torture of athletes who participated in the pro-democracy movement in Bahrain in 2011 (he denied it); it gave Pakistan coach in exchange for a vote in the election of President of the Asian Football Confederation in 2013; it was connected with the organizers of match-fixing.
Secondly, the work Infantino know more or less all over the world, while Shaikh Salman remained puzzling to many a member of the royal family of Bahrain. Salman could fix it clear election program, but seems to be scared of the flight of thought: in the 24-page manifesto he is fit and structural reforms and anti-corruption work and the introduction of technologies, and overly risky ideological theses (to play attacking football, that’s enough invite foreign coaches and fire them after a failed qualification, the main thing – to engage in youth football, and you can still play 60 minutes instead of 90). . Too many ambitions have all clearly Infantino and the points (see below)
Third, the summary Gianni simply no gaps: a law degree obtained in a strong University of Fribourg; speaks English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic; during UEFA not only came up with the financial fair play, but also a bunch of links established in the European Union, the Council of Europe and other state agencies. Another such candidate is not.
Should we be afraid of Russia and Qatar?
No, Infantino is not going to take the world championship, then all is quiet. Moreover, Gianni called Russia an important country and promised to learn Russian if elected. We’ll have to perform.
So what’s his plan?
1. The Board will be reorganized in the FIFA and no longer able to make key decisions Council (for example, hosts the World Cup are now opting for 209 countries rather than a couple dozen people). Instead, the council will receive strategic and supervisory functions – in fact, it is the development of future plans and monitoring of the FIFA administration
The new board will add 10 officers:. 6 – from Asia and Africa, even for two people come from South America and CONCACAF. Special attention Infantino paid to gender equality: 36 officers Council at least 6 must be women
To work in the FIFA all key staff (President, Secretary General, Council members) will not be more than 12 years – 3 period for 4 years. .
2. Create a committee football family , where FIFA will examine the position of the leagues, clubs and players unions on all topical issues and future decisions. First of FIFA is interested in views on the calendar and transfer system since Infantino promises to clear the market from outsiders who steal and launder money in the transitions.
3. Expand salaries of all key employees of FIFA. Revenues Blatter and his partners will not disclose.
4. To conduct strategic meetings with the top executives of all the national associations , which are now click on the buttons during the Congress to approve another report or budget. Infantino promises at least once a year to meet with them in an informal setting and share all constructive proposals to the Board of FIFA. Approximately so the government sends the bills to the State Duma.
5. Infantino loves numbers and considers that FIFA spends too little on the development of the game – just 18 percent of revenues, though it can devote to it at least 50%. When Gianni every 4 years the countries will send $ 5 million, and regional confederations -. For 40 million
More teams may request up to 250 thousand dollars a year in transport costs to get to the matches ( we were talking about a team that does not play for 4 years due to lack of money ).
6. Infantino main project – the expansion of the world championship to 40 teams . Pattern of competition will not change: the groups will be 8, just now they will not have four teams and five. Calendar swell just three extra days. The main advantage, says Gianni, -. It is the promotion of football in the new regions, the expansion of business opportunities and a dramatic increase in advertising revenue
Where will the 40 teams? 14 – from Europe, 7 – from Africa, 6 – from Asia, 5 – from South America, 5 – CONCACAF 1 – Oceania 1 – the owner of the tournament, 1 – an additional place “on the basis of sports results»
.
When Infantino asked, not too many participants, he says that 40 teams – it is only 19 per cent of the total number of FIFA members, and on the continental tournaments played from 30 to 100 per cent of countries
<. strong> 7. FIFA will discuss the World Cup is not in one or two countries and the region as a whole – get something like the Euro-2020 in 13 European cities. At the same time each confederation will have to wait for the next World Cup at least two qualifying cycle.
8. The introduction of video replays and other technology necessary to analyze and discuss – in a specific position Infantino no
9.. It is necessary to revise the rating teams , so that it was more appropriate and understandable for the fans.
10. Creating a Team legend for the well-known players who will travel around the world, to promote the game, and sometimes – to collect money for the FIFA
What Infantino will do for the first time
.? hold a football match. Seriously not the territory of the FIFA headquarters has an excellent golf, and there is going to play with Gianni FIFA delegates, journalists and legendary players that have supported it (for example, Roberto Carlos and Luis Figo). “And on the second day, I put on a suit and begin to work” – promised the president
