Executive calls for more women at Fifa
Moya Dodd is just one of three women at governing body

FIFA executive committee member Moya Dodd called yesterday for more women to be included in decision-making as football’s world governing body continues to undergo change at all levels due to corruption.

Outgoing president Sepp Blatter and head of Uefa Michel Platini were interrogated by Swiss investigators last week and despite Blatter going back to work yesterday and confirming that he will not step down, Dodd feels that a more diverse body would only help Fifa.

The former Australia player is just one of three female members at Fifa and, with the recent arrests, more women could find a place on the board should the women’s leadership push bear fruit.
