International fan associations have launched an online petition to demand the resignation of FIFA President and a deep reform of the institution. The petition was launched on Thursday, according to L'Équipe Football, and has been confirmed by multiple sources.
The supporters are targeting the FIFA President, with the signatories including Football Supporters Europe, the National Association of Supporters, and the Irresistibles French. They are demanding a formal involvement of supporters and other key actors in football in the decisions that shape the sport's future. The supporters claim that football belongs to those who fill the stadiums, follow their clubs and national teams, and transmit the sport from generation to generation.
The supporters are pushing for a formal role in football's decision-making process, arguing that the sport belongs to its fans, not just its administrators. This move comes as a response to what the supporters see as a lack of representation and involvement in the sport's governance.
