Oftentimes Fifa has been able to get away with murder due to the sly and cunning way of the organisation’s complex operations. In short, when it comes to Fifa, what you see is not what you get.
WOLRD football governing body Fifa’s credibility lies in tatters, torn apart by its own culture of double standards and a perennial alignment with the powerful Western nations over the so-called developing economies.
Oftentimes Fifa has been able to get away with murder due to the sly and cunning way of the organisation’s complex operations. In short, when it comes to Fifa, what you see is not what you get. You can ask the Russians, Palestinians, and now the Iranians.
I do not care much about Fifa’s rules and regulations, as long as the organisation applied its policies equally among all affiliated football federations. Coming from the background of colonialism and apartheid, I know discrimination when it rears its ugly head.
Allow me to return later, if you will, to a time a few years ago when Fifa banned Russia from all participation in its competitions over the country’s war on Ukraine in 2022.
