The Premier League, England's top club competition, has formally joined the chorus of criticism against FIFA management.The English league joins a group of Europe's three biggest leagues that are advocating "fundamental" reform in how world football's governing body is run.
What's at stake
The move brings together the most powerful leagues in European football around a common agenda: to change Fifa's internal functioning, from governance to decision-making processes.
Why the leagues are mobilized
In recent years, European leagues and clubs have repeatedly complained about decisions taken by Fifa without proper consultation with those who produce football on a day-to-day basis in particular the expansion of the international calendar, which increases match load and reduces teams' rest period and pre-season.
For the fans, this appears in concrete form: players accumulating matches without enough intervals, coaches rotating roster to save starters and national competitions losing space in increasingly tight schedules.
The position of the Premier League
By joining the call for reform, the Premier League reinforces that dissatisfaction is not restricted to one league or country.
Next steps
The joint pressure of the major European leagues tends to intensify the debate on the distribution of power within world football, traditionally concentrated in FIFA and confederations.
The current moment is one of political articulation: the leagues have formulated a formal charge, and how it unfolds depends on FIFA's response and the group's ability to convert their joint positioning into effective changes in the governance of the entity.
