The Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A have collectively called for substantial reforms in FIFA's governance structure. The four major European football leagues accuse FIFA of concentrating excessive power within its president's hands. The leagues argue that FIFA needs fundamental governance reform to restore confidence in the organization and ensure that major decisions are not made without meaningful input from the stakeholders affected.
Recent controversies have exposed the wider structural problem within FIFA, where the president has been promoting exploitative ideas instead of safeguarding against them. While the FIFA President acknowledged the need for reform, the leagues insist that it is not enough to merely explore surface-level process changes. They emphasize the necessity of fundamental governance reform to establish clear constitutional boundaries within FIFA, maintain independence from political interference, and ensure that individual disciplinary matters are protected.
