FIFA reforms to go under the microscope

A working group which was set up to revise the FIFA statutes has proposed setting an age limit of 72 for the FIFA president and executive committee members at the time of their election, re-election or nomination.

It has also proposed limiting their mandates to two four-year terms.

UEFA, European football's governing body, said in a statement that it would host a meeting of the presidents of its 53 members associations on January 24 to analyse the proposals.

"UEFA wants to ensure that the FIFA reform process maintains its good governance objectives and this has been made clear to our members in a clear and transparent way, to enable them to make their position clear," said UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino. "We now need our members to put forward their views."
