The scandal-battered organization appointed Fatma Samoura as the organization&#8217;s new secretary general. Infantino hopes that the Senegalese national who used to work for the United Nations\u00a0will help improve FIFA&#8217;s image.\u00a0<em><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">&#8220;FIFA is back on track.

As part of this organizational shakeup, Infantino plans to provide the new secretary general CEO-like responsibilities. A\u00a0separation of powers is also being implemented in the organization.<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>&#8220;She will bring a fresh wind to FIFA,&#8221; Infantino stated. &#8220;Somebody from outside, not somebody from inside, not somebody from the past.

These changes include setting up enhanced compliance for revenue and spending, putting in place eligibility checks for new members of committees and senior positions, publishing individual compensation of senior FIFA officials and appointing independent members on key committees. Former world players of the year Luis Figo and Mia Hamm were asked to join the development committee as independent members while Ivory Coast former striker Didier Drogba was asked to be the Deputy Chairman of the footballer stakeholder committee.
