Why does FIFA get so much hate?
One of the hottest topics on our board right now is the question, "Why do people say FIFA is bad for soccer?" The short answer: many fans feel the governing body has lost sight of the sport itself. They point to money‑driven decisions that seem to favour big sponsors over grassroots clubs. For example, the exponential rise in World Cup fees has left smaller nations struggling to host quality tournaments.
Another gripe is a perceived lack of transparency. Fans have watched high‑profile scandals unfold, from bribery accusations to questionable referee appointments, and wonder if the organization is more about protecting its own interests than preserving the game. That perception fuels the idea that FIFA is more a business empire than a sport guardian.
Grassroots development also takes a hit in many fans’ eyes. While elite tournaments boast huge TV deals, local youth programs often scramble for funding. Critics argue that a healthier football ecosystem starts at the community level, not just on the World Cup stage. When those foundations are ignored, the sport’s future feels shaky.
