All of FIFA's members have a duty to protect the integrity of the sport and save FIFA from itself, even at the risk of retaliation. In the short term, I hope federations around the world find the courage to oppose [Gianni] Infantino's vision for the sport; in the long term, I urge them to pursue structural governance reforms that take power away from the role of the FIFA president and shift it toward the Council, the Congress, and the Secretary General, so that no single individual can ever act unilaterally to soccer's detriment again. Perhaps then the greatest legacy of this World Cup will be that it spurred us to speak up for and defend the values that make soccer the people's game.
