We have built a strong compliance culture over the years, underpinned by essential elements such as the FIFA Code of Conduct, targeted training programmes, comprehensive risk assessments, thorough third-party due diligence and robust internal audits. These initiatives have collectively strengthened our commitment to integrity and transparency in football governance. Our ongoing goal is to safeguard football and to create compliance resources that are accessible and easy to use for all stakeholders. We believe that by providing clear and practical guidance, we can foster a culture of compliance that is deeply embedded across all aspects of our operations. Through the release of this updated version of the FIFA Compliance Handbook, we aim to equip our Member Associations, the confederations, and other sporting bodies with the best practices required to uphold the highest standards of conduct. This handbook is designed to be user-friendly, and it offers straightforward, actionable advice that can be easily incorporated into daily activities. Compliance, much like football, is a team sport. Every individual within our organisation has a crucial role to play in maintaining the integrity of the world’s greatest game, both on and off the pitch. By working together and adhering to the principles outlined in this handbook, we can continue to promote a culture of fairness, accountability and excellence.
