Anne Brasseur, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), commenting on the most recent wave of arrests of FIFA officials said:
“Football is a game that should be played with dirty boots not dirty money. I urge all of those with less than clear consciences to come forward and bring an end to this corruption. This is for the sake of those in the smallest village clubs to the largest national teams. Pelé called it ‘the most beautiful game’, many FIFA officials and others have turned it into the ‘the most corrupt sport’. Let us now start to play a clean game.”
