Gianni Infantino: Dutch federation calls for future Fifa summit before election

The Dutch football association KNVB has distanced itself from FIFA President Gianni Infantino and called for comprehensive reforms within FIFA. The KNVB proposes holding an international special summit before the March 2023 FIFA elections, arguing that a new president alone is insufficient. They emphasize the need to change how FIFA is governed and restore trust in the organization. The KNVB suggests organizing a reform conference in Amsterdam where ideas from global football associations and confederations can be discussed. They advocate for increased transparency, equitable distribution of funds, and consideration of human rights and sustainability in decisions such as World Cup host selections. The KNVB stresses that this initiative should be developed collaboratively with all 211 FIFA member associations and confederations worldwide.
