FIFA's inconsistent policies
The article discusses criticisms of the standards applied by FIFA when organizing the World Cup. It points out that some regulations once considered fixed and established are being relaxed or softened depending on the identity, political influence, and economic power of the host country. It clarifies that hosting the tournament is no longer solely a sporting matter but has become an economic, investment, and political project. This has led to selective interpretations of the standards and impacts on fans' rights, access for teams, and competitive fairness. The article emphasizes that this duality undermines FIFA’s credibility and leads to a erosion of trust in organizational justice, especially as the application of standards varies according to influence and power, reflecting a broader crisis of credibility within the global football system.
