Following the conclusion of its meeting on 12 August, the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Executive Committee considered recent developments concerning the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal.
The OFC Executive Committee welcomes FIFA’s decision to withdraw the FFE proposal and its commitment to review the issues surrounding the project.
OFC recognises the progress achieved over the last decade in advancing football development in Oceania under FIFA’s leadership and encourages FIFA to use the review as an opportunity to identify and implement any changes that may be necessary.
Good governance, transparency and respect for established institutional processes are fundamental to the effective administration and sustainable development of football. These principles are essential at every level of the game and should be upheld consistently by all football stakeholders.
The development of football remains OFC’s priority. The Confederation will continue to support initiatives that strengthen the game and create meaningful, sustainable opportunities for football development across Oceania and globally.
In that spirit, OFC remains committed to constructive dialogue and close collaboration with its Member Associations, FIFA, fellow Confederations and all football stakeholders, ensuring that football continues to thrive in all corners of the world.
