FIFA to launch worldwide consultation on development in Auckland (New Zealand)

It is in Auckland (New Zealand) that FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) has organised from the 14/09/2013 and for three days, the first of a series of eleven development seminars, programmed in the world until spring 2014.

The planning, implementation and prioritisation of FIFA’s development projects in light of the amended development regulations (new rules came into force on the 01/07/2013) will be at the core of the three-day meeting in Auckland that will gather the Presidents, General Secretaries and Technical Directors from all OFC (Oceania Football Confederation) member associations.

"We would like to listen to our member associations. They are the ones who have the needs and we are working for them," said Jerome Valcke, FIFA Secretary General, on the 11/09/2013. He will attend the seminar in Auckland. "All what we have done can be summarised in two words: transparency and compliance. All of this needs to be done at the level of the member associations." he added.

The second development seminar is scheduled from the 23 to the 27/09/2013 in Costa Rica.
