We need a break from Fifa and the cut-throat presidential race.
Far from Fifa's troubled headquarters in Switzerland, the Football Association of Maldives (FAM) is currently going through its' own turmoil. Elections for a new president have been postponed for a year over infighting about the changes to the constitution. And the only candidate for the post was charged with corruption by the government, but he has now been cleared. So what needs to be done at the FAM to get it back on the straight and narrow?
It needs a clean, free-of-corruption, free-of-political-interference organization to come in and run it for a while. Yes, as a member of Fifa, FAM is being run by a normalization committee, appointed by those clean cut boys at Fifa. Oh the irony. And just today Fifa decided to extend the mandate of the committee until December 31st.
Must be a lovely feeling to have matters concerning football in your own country decided by an organization that is struggling to have its' own employees and executive members not suspended by its' own Ethics Committee.
