Diversity & Inclusion
A workforce as diverse as the beautiful game
Football is played on every continent, by every conceivable type of person, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, ability or any other distinguishing factor. It’s truly the world’s game, and we strive to ensure that this incredible diversity is represented within our staff, and that FIFA remains an inclusive place to work.
Our aims
As an organisation, our aim is to create and continuously develop an environment that celebrates diversity and inclusion – enabling all of our employees to participate and make meaningful contributions.
We are committed to widening representation, focusing on fair treatment and improving equal opportunities while ensuring the active engagement and inclusive participation of all people, at all levels of our beautiful game.

Always striving for better
We have taken great strides in our journey to build a diverse and inclusive workplace, but we will always keep striving for better. As part of our continued efforts to make FIFA an ever more equal and accessible workplace, we are determined to further broaden our diversity and inclusion agenda, committing to clear actions to ensure that our workforce is a true representation of our society across the globe, and that everyone feels included.
In particular, we recognise that some areas outside of Europe are under-represented within our workforce, and although we boast a balanced gender mix among top management, women are under-represented within the middle management level. We are also currently reviewing our data collection practices, and increasing learning opportunities to help us better understand where we can make further improvements.
Accountability belongs to all of us.
