Serie A Joins European Leagues in FIFA Reform Call

Four major European leagues demand governance changes at FIFA, citing threats to football's foundations.

What happened. Lega Serie A joined the Premier League, LaLiga, and Bundesliga in a joint statement calling for governance reforms at FIFA. The statement warns that football's foundations are threatened by a fundamental governance problem.

• Demands include giving shareholders a real role in decision-making and ensuring evidence-based decisions.
• The FIGC, separate from Lega Serie A, has already withdrawn support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
• The statement follows Infantino's failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and an expanded international calendar.
