For a better World Cup in TorontotheBetter and beyond
Following the 2015 exposure of corruption at its highest levels FIFA the governing body of world football in 2025 created a social responsibility committee and in 2026 announced a set of operational reforms. Football is the biggest and richest game in the world and so has an enormous influence on all involved in football around the world. Will these changes make a positive difference? TorontotheBetter hopes so but thinks not. FIFA’s stated goal is to "expand the game” not to use the game to make the world a better place. Until this changes FIFA will get richer but its vast resource wealth will not have the progressive impact it could and should on a world currently enmeshed in much poverty, injustice and several murderous conflicts. FIFA needs a charter of social rights and responsibilities administered by an oversight body. TorontotheBetter, creators of Toronto's original online socially missioned business directory calls on all in Toronto and beyond in favour of real reform to make FIFA openly draft such a charter for World Cup host countries and cities and work for its implementation.>
