In order to ensure that FIFA’s overall football regulatory framework remains relevant to the changing circumstances that may arise within our sport, a review of the FIFA Statutes shall be undertaken during the 2023-2027 cycle.

Football needs to retain its attractiveness and relevance in a fast-changing society, while also respecting the traditions of our sport. This balance must be maintained, including by providing support for match officials in officiating all aspects of the game, for instance, by constantly improving video assistant referees (VARs), making decisions understandable to a wider audience, as well as considering rule changes that promote fair, attractive and engaging football (such as the offside rule).

Online processes are facilitating how proceedings are being initiated through the FIFA Legal Portal and subsequently conducted before the FIFA Football Tribunal and the FIFA judicial bodies, including by enabling football stakeholders to lodge a claim with the relevant FIFA decision-making or judicial body. All of this is in line with FIFA’s continued drive for efficacy and efficiency in its administrative functions and is aimed at fostering the involvement of more member associations in the democratic decision-making process that underpins FIFA’s governance and transparency principles for football regulatory matters.

Having stepped up protection of female players in 2020 to include minimal employment conditions for female players, FIFA is committed to implementing additional regulations in this area. In addition, further measures to protect the game and its stakeholders from the adverse impacts of climate change will also be necessary and we will work to make football more resilient to those impacts.
