New Fifa?

Day -755. WorldCup2018‬

Are you Blatter in disguise? New Fifa, not much different from the old Fifa. After Domenico Scala, the head of Fifa’s audit and compliance committee, resigned last week because the new Fifa council voted to limit the independence of the Fifa committees, including the Ethics Committee, yesterday Fifa president Infantino announced the appointment of Norwegian FA official Kjetil Siem as his director of strategy.

Siem was a huge fan of Sepp Blatter and called him a role model, carrying on with his support of the ex-president even as he was embroiled in the corruption scandal that hit him and Fifa. Siem was also recently involved in controversy in Norway after refusing to be clear and transparent about Norwegian football officials' expense claims.

It feels more and more as though there is not much new about this new Fifa
