  • He believes that it is time for new leadership to take over and restore the integrity of football.
  • FIFA has faced criticism in recent years for its handling of various issues, including the expansion of the World Cup and the commercialization of football. Tebas's remarks come at a time when debates about the future direction of football governance are intensifying.
  • Tebas's comments reflect a growing discontent among football leaders regarding FIFA's approach to the sport, particularly in relation to commercial interests overshadowing traditional values.
