What is the primary role of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee?

The primary role of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee is to investigate breaches and enforce disciplinary measures within the context of football governance. This includes ensuring that all football-related activities adhere to the established rules and regulations set by FIFA and related organizations. The committee is responsible for addressing issues such as player misconduct, corruption, and violations of FIFA regulations, ultimately maintaining integrity and fairness within the sport.

In contrast, negotiating player contracts, training football agents, and organizing international matches are not within the purview of the Disciplinary Committee. These activities fall under the responsibilities of other entities and professionals in the football ecosystem. Negotiating contracts is typically the role of agents and clubs, training agents involves educational bodies or associations, and organizing matches is handled by tournament organizers and national federations. The Disciplinary Committee’s focus remains firmly on upholding disciplinary standards and applying appropriate sanctions when rules are breached.
