Here’s what’s going on in the soccer industry this morning…
The head of the German football league (DFL) said the crisis at FIFA over the 2022 and 2018 World Cup bid process could raise questions about its credibility and thoughts of Europe breaking away from the governing body.
FIFA has no influence over reports produced by its Ethics Committee, the governing body said amid criticism of the findings of an investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Michael Garcia faces a difficult decision after FIFA, soccer’s notoriously unaccountable world governing body, released a summary of his investigation into World Cup bidding that the former U.S. federal prosecutor calls “incomplete and erroneous.”
Bayern Munich yesterday announced a partnership with Global Premier Soccer, one of the largest youth soccer organizations in the U.S. The partnership will allow the team to further expand its footprint in the country.
Real Salt Lake GM Garth Lagerwey expects to meet with club owner Dell Loy Hansen within the next week to discuss his future with the club.
Taylor Twellman signed an eight-year deal with ESPN to be the network’s lead soccer analyst.
NWSL has added a 4th international slot per team for the 2015 season. However, this additional slot is, initially at least, intended to be a temporary move as team’s look to cope with the extended absence of players during the World Cup in 2015.
Wasserman Media Group has acquired Dutch agency Sport-Promotion, as its European expansion continues.
The D.C Council’s Finance and Revenue Committee passed legislation to give the DC United franchise a new, permanent home.
Serbia and Albania have appealed sanctions from UEFA after their European qualifying match was abandoned because of violence.
