Standing Committees

Standing Committees

FIFA's General Secretary is assisted in his or her work by more than 25 standing committees and by two judicial bodies, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee and the FIFA Appeal Committee. The committees serve a crucial function, as they take decisions concerning the organisation of competitions and the development of football in general. The decisions made by the committees are ratified by the Executive Committee. (Art. 34 to 54 of the Statutes).

It meets at least twice a year, with the mandate for each member lasting four years, and its role includes determining the dates, locations and format of tournaments, appointing FIFA delegates to the IFAB and electing and dismissing the General Secretary on the proposal of the FIFA President.
