FIFA executive committee to make progress on reforms

AP , Tuesday 24 Nov 2015

FIFA's executive committee will discuss ongoing reforms of the scandal-scarred soccer body at a meeting in Zurich next week.

FIFA published an agenda for the Dec. 2-3 session on Tuesday, confirming the ruling panel will hear from reforms advisory chairman Francois Carrard.

A slate of Carrard's proposals - which could include taking some decision-making away from the executive committee, and imposing age and term limits on senior officials - will be sent to the FIFA election congress on Feb. 26 for approval.

The agenda says executive members will also be updated on the American and Swiss federal investigations into corruption in soccer.

Interim president Issa Hayatou will report on a Dec. 2 finance committee meeting. FIFA will likely report an annual loss after failing to sign World Cup sponsor deals in 2015.
