FIFA must tackle corruption to rebuild trust, warns anti-corruption campaigners

Transparency International has published a report on fraudulent activity in sport that shines a light on how modern football is vulnerable to malpractice.

FIFA has been accused of betraying football fans by anti-corruption campaign body Transparency International, which has demanded "irreversible change" from the organization in 2016.

The publication of Global Corruption Report: Sport on Tuesday comes ahead of Friday's Extraordinary FIFA Congress in Zurich.

In addition to electing a new president to replace Sepp Blatter, FIFA will vote on whether or not to implement the recommended reform proposals that would bring about sweeping changes within football's governing body.
