FIGC: commissionership and elections, what the regulation says

The administration of sports federations, and therefore also the FIGC, is regulated by the CONI Statute. It occurs in the case of serious irregularities "ascertained in the management or serious violations of the sporting order by the governing bodies".

Article 21 paragraph 4 of the football federation's statute establishes the methods by which the elections for president and federal council are held: at least 60 days will take between the convocation and the assembly. Furthermore, "nominations for federal president and federal councillor, other than ex-officio members, must be submitted to the federal secretariat at least 40 days before the assembly, in order to allow their publication on the federal website at least 30 days before the date of the assembly".

According to the FIGC electoral regulations "the candidatures must be accompanied by a programmatic document on the FIGC's activities for the four-year Olympic period and by the accreditation of the candidacy, without mandate, by at least half plus one of the delegates of at least one League or a technical component". And given what happened with the membership case, also from the certificate of possession of a federal membership card.

With the commissionership (the maximum duration of which cannot exceed six months), the federal council effectively expires together with the president, the FIGC statute, in article 24, is very clear on this. The bodies, however, remain in extension to guarantee ordinary administration and the acts considered conservative or non-deferrable until the reconstruction of the new federal governance.
