Azerbaijan did not support the call for reforms in FIFA

The Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan became the only UEFA member that did not support the call for reforms in FIFA. This was reported on the Sport Express website with reference to the UEFA press service.

At a meeting in Berlin on October 8, 54 of UEFA's 55 national associations agreed on a clear direction for FIFA's reforms and expressed no confidence in the organization's current leadership. The national associations confirmed that they had lost confidence in the leadership of FIFA, led by President Gianni Infantino.

“The national associations have reaffirmed that they have lost confidence in the current leadership of FIFA. Institutional reform alone will not be enough. "FIFA also needs new leadership: a respected and inclusive leader with deep roots in football and the vision and experience to lead," UEFA said in a statement.

UEFA members' demands include the election of a new leader with an unconditional commitment to development, reform, integrity and independence. Discussions about reform and the future leadership of FIFA will continue between UEFA national associations and their counterparts around the world.
