With the World Cup starting on Friday, the FIFA family is in Germany for a series of meetings.
Over the weekend the organising committee met to discuss the last-minute preparations for the tournament, while the Executive Committee met yesterday and will continue talks today.
On the agenda is the ratification of dates for the confederations’ competitions in 2007 and 2008 for inclusion in the co-ordinated international match calendar, updates on legal disputes that FIFA is currently involved in – among them with the G14 - and a report on the most recent discussions between FIFA and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Also on the agenda is a proposal to amend the FIFA statutes to allow the creation of a new, independent ethics committee, which would then be submitted to Congress for approval.
FIFA.com will carry the Congress live online.
