You know, the FIFA is an association. It has members. The members either set the rules, or they are complicit. Now you say, oh, the members won't do anything.

You know, the FIFA is an association. It has members. The members either set the rules, or they are complicit.
Now you say, oh, the members won't do anything. They are willing complicits. Guess what. They are also associtations and have members. In the end your local football club is a member of a local association, that is member of a national association, that is member of FIFA.
Why not start there. Start an initiative in your local club, that they take action on the next level, that they take action on the next level, etc. If you local club takes that up, but the next level ignores it, use your contacts to neighbouring clubs. If still nothing happens start an initiative that your club leaves the association.
If your local club prefers to do nothing, they are complicits as well. But you can leave. Get your friends to leave. You can still play football. Just meet up at a field. Place some posts. But stop complaining about the corrupt FIFA.
