FIFA: 40 former players and coaches convene to discuss the current and future state of the game

"Forty former leading players and coaches (listed below) convened in London (UK) on the morning of The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony (on 23/10/2017) and held a fruitful three-hour session with FIFA president Gianni Infantino and representatives of the organisation’s senior management to discuss the current state of the game and, most importantly, its future," said the international federation on 24/11/2017. This was the third meeting of the "Legends of FIFA" think tank.

"I want it to be clear that this is not simply a gathering to talk about football, but a forum where ideas and opinions are noted and taken into account whenever FIFA acts to decide on changes in football. This is why the agenda is filled with very concrete topics, which are currently a subject of debate within football administration around the world," said Gianni Infantino at the opening of the meeting.
