Berlin
ANTI-GRAFT watchdog Transparency International (TI) on Thursday blasted scandal-plagued Fifa's member national football associations (FAs) for compounding the risk of corruption through a lack of transparency.
The Berlin-based non-governmental organisation said the various FAs' reluctance to publish financial information had contributed to tarnishing the image of football. "Most of the 209 national football associations that make up Fifa, world football's governing body, publish little or no information on what they do and how they spend their money," TI said.
