Nordic football federations approach EU over FIFA governance
The football federations of Finland, Denmark and Sweden have written to the EU's sports commissioner, raising concerns about how FIFA is governed. They have requested a meeting with Commissioner Glenn Micallef.
Three Nordic football federations have sent a joint letter to European Union Sports Commissioner Glenn Micallef, expressing concerns about the governance of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). The letter was signed by the presidents of the national football federations of Finland, Denmark and Sweden.
In the letter, the federations requested a meeting with the commissioner to discuss their concerns directly. The source text does not specify the particular issues that prompted the federations' dissatisfaction with FIFA's governance arrangements.
The move suggests that questions surrounding FIFA's governance principles have begun to draw attention from football authorities in several European countries, which are now seeking dialogue or support from EU institutions on the matter.
