"Call for Reform: Critics Say FIFA Needs to Ditch Its Dual Role In a move that could shake the very foundations of international football, a growing chorus of critics is demanding that FIFA's regulatory functions be severed from its lucrative commercial activities. The world governing body, responsible for overseeing the sport's rules and competitions, has long been accused of a conflict of interest, with its commercial arm reaping massive profits from the very events it is supposed to regulate. As concerns over corruption and governance continue to plague the organization, experts argue that separating these two functions is essential to restoring trust and integrity to the sport. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, will FIFA's leadership finally take steps to address these long-standing issues?"
