The Vision 2020‑2023 ­

The rules governing football are established to protect the game in its entirety. To fulfil this purpose, it is crucial to continuously modernise the regulatory framework, thereby ensuring that its transparency is safeguarded on a global scale and that the interests of all football stakeholders around the world are taken into account.

Investing in football is FIFA’s chief priority; it is the ultimate goal behind a number of programmes dedicated to supporting the member associations and other football stakeholders. Building on the solid foundation provided by the FIFA World Cup™, new sustainable revenue streams need to be achieved in order to ensure the continuous flow of such investment.

It is FIFA’s duty to serve the football movement and meet the needs of its members. To do so, it should adopt a service-oriented approach and continuously increase its organisational capabilities to become increasingly efficient and effective.

FIFA's competitions are the perfect stage to showcase top football talent from around the world and to make billions of football fans dream. The outstanding success of the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ and FIFA’s new global club football tournament is pivotal to keeping this virtuous cycle running.

Football is becoming more and more global. In the same vein, FIFA strives to ensure that its competitions are genuinely global events in terms of inclusivity, location, audience and, most of all, impact.

When it comes to the level of football, the disparity between different regions of the world has been steadily widening. FIFA should take concrete steps to bridge this gap, with the long-term ambition of bringing at least 50 national teams and 50 clubs from all continents to a top competitive level.

FIFA’s statutory objective is to improve the game constantly and promote it globally. This involves enhancing the football development landscape so that it has a positive impact around the globe, across all disciplines – whether men’s football, women’s football, youth football, futsal or beach soccer.

All over the world, girls and women play football with great passion. Bolstering the women’s game, as well as the participation of women in football governance at all levels, is at the top of the game’s agenda around the world. FIFA will continue to support this process by structurally boosting the participation of women in the game and its governance.

Over the course of the past few years, technology has permeated the football world, reshaping the way people think about the sport and presenting a wide array of possibilities. FIFA should ensure that technology is used to the best of its potential with the aim of improving the quality of the football experience on and off the pitch.

Football’s core values are the reason why it is more than a game. It is FIFA’s duty to protect and foster these values, ensuring that they remain strong around the world and maximising their potential to positively impact the football movement as a whole.

The power of football in society is on display every day around the world. It is a game that brings people together, inspires generations and promotes team spirit. FIFA is dedicated to harnessing this power in order to have a positive social impact and address global challenges such as climate change, thereby contributing tangibly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
