Football Notes: Another FIFA Compensation Sub-Committee Member Quits

Jean-Pierre Pedrazzini "has left FIFA's three-person compensation sub-committee." Pedrazzini's departure follows that of Domenico Scala, "who was also on the compensation sub-committee and who quit as head of audit and compliance last month." The sub-committee sets compensation rules and compensation for FIFA President Gianni Infantino, the members of its supervisory Council and FIFA's secretary general, "according to FIFA statutes agreed in April." FIFA did not "give a reason for Pedrazzini's departure." Asked for comment, Pedrazzini "confirmed his resignation from the sub-committee but declined to comment on the reason" (REUTERS, 6/22).

The Chinese FA, the governing body for foootball in China, and the Royal Belgian FA (KBVB) have "partnered on a knowledge sharing initiative." The two bodies signed a Memorandum of Understanding "which will see collaborations across both countries." Domestic clubs from both nations "will play regular friendlies, with high-level visits, coach development, youth system training and technical staff sharing also part of the deal" (SOCCEREX, 6/23).
