CAFE calls for disability and inclusion to be at the heart of FIFA reforms
As the FIFA Reform Committee prepares its final proposals, CAFE’s David Bernstein and Joyce Cook call for searching reforms. In a letter to the FIFA Reform Committee Chair, which supports Moya Dodd’s submission for more women in leadership, the Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE) also calls for more far-reaching reform.
“CAFE calls for the appointment of disabled people to FIFAs decision-making bodies and committees to best represent this often forgotten, yet largest minority group. This should safeguard the best interests of the many disabled people who can still only aspire to take their rightful places as spectators, players, coaches, administrators, volunteers and indeed decision makers.”
Cook said: “The Reform Committee has already set out its preliminary recommendations, but with not a single reference to disability and inclusion.” “With more than 1 billion disabled people globally – the world’s largest minority group – Bernstein and Cook also seek changes to FIFAs anti-discrimination policy to ensure that disability and inclusion are placed at the forefront of all future anti-discrimination and CSR policy and progress.”
