-
-
-
FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter discusses 5 July’s historic, unanimous decision by the IFAB (International Football Association Board) to allow goal-line technology to be used in the game. Speaking to members of the international press, he also talked about additional assistant referees, his dramatic change in stance on technology and the need to maintain football’s human face.
The idea is to have it ready for the World Cup in Brazil?
It is my plan to have it used at Brazil 2014, yes. We will use the system also for the Confederations Cup and this year’s FIFA Club World Cup.

Play the Game – Corruption in sports gets too little Exposure
-
-
-
We are all conscious of the sad reality that corruption is a widespread phenomenon in politics, business, even in our churches, and essentially in most aspects of life. It is not that we like it or accept it, but we have come to realize that it is there and that it is not going away. It is less clear, therefore, we so many are ready to believe that the world of sports somehow should be an exception, should have managed to insulate itself from what is happening elsewhere.
