The integrity updates build on the integrity programme that was implemented at the Russia 2018 World Cup and last year at the Women’s World Cup in France.

“… FIFA is excited to have developed several new integrity resources and materials that provide member associations and confederations with specific assistance on best practice in football. The ultimate aim is to support and develop stronger integrity structures – as well as long-term, sustainable education and prevention programmes and promotional initiatives – that safeguard the integrity of football.”
