The events leading up to the 65th Congress in Zurich, also resulted in the recent news of the resignation of Mr. Joseph Blatter as soon as a new successor is appointed by Congress. His attitude has been marked with nobility, as the President has sought out the common good, rather than his own personal gain.
In this new world stage it will be essential that all FIFA confederations and associations renew the spirit of this institution, which was born and raised under the values and ideals of sportsmanship, dignity, and hope for humanity.
The current troubled situation, has been considered very closely by CONMEBOL, as an indivisible part of FIFA. We understand that our strength is framed in the principles that has enabled us to achieve extraordinary things with the help of international efforts. Only football has been able to unite the world in this special stage.
The South American Football Confederation knows that a stronger FIFA will pull ahead from these circumstances, and also realizes that it finds itself with a historic opportunity to rediscover the true fundamental principals which have made this sport so popular, strong, and deserving of credibility.
CONMEBOL has also set its eyes in that same direction.
