• FairSquare calls for widespread reform of governing body
• ‘Football is far too important to be governed this poorly’

Fifa is not fit to govern and should be the subject of widespread reform, a new report has argued, starting with the way money is used to “buy the political support of member associations”.

The report, compiled by the human rights advocacy group FairSquare and built on interviews with more than 100 people, calls for greater transparency from football’s governing body and argues outside regulation may be necessary for the organisation to live up to its values.
