On player selection
According to FIFA's own guidlines on national associations and ministries of sport - a good read
http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/standard_cooperation_agreement_efsd_47345.pdfArticle 12 says: The selection of players for a national team is the
sole preserve of its
coach. The same principle applies to clubs participating in continental
or intercontinental competitions.
Another interesting point with these ad hoc organizing committees - it's supposed to have a member of the ministry of sport on it (who was the ministry of sport member on the LOC's for our home games?)
And what about the fans?
Article 27 says: For international matches, the association shall appoint one or more
persons responsible for stewarding supporters or shall delegate this
task to the security officer. The association and leagues shall require
clubs to appoint persons responsible for stewarding and
creating a
national supporters’ association.Duties of the head steward are listed in Article 28 - whoever it is is supposed to be talking to us (WN)
Accountability:
1. The association shall keep an account of any subsidies received in
accordance with national law, FIFA16 regulations and guidelines and
those of the relevant confederation.
2. The association shall
carefully preserve all related documents so as
to be able to present them to the competent authorities.
3.
An annual meeting between the association and the government
body responsible for sport, if possible in the presence of FIFA, shall be
organised to exchange information on the fi nancial management of
the association.Article 38: Consultation between FIFA and the government body
responsible for sport
1. Football shall be managed
calmly through consultation,
mutual respect and a spirit of dialogue and
solidarity. [yes Warner and Hunt this means you]
