The FIFA Code of Conduct

Fair play is not confined to the football pitch. It is this belief which motivated FIFA to formulate, in collaboration with trade unions, a code of conduct including the following:

Clear Criteria

• No forced labour (ILO Conventions 29 and 105)
  
• No discrimination in employment on the basis of race, colour, gender, political opinions, nationality or social origins (ILO Conventions 100 and 111)
  
• No child labour under 15 (ILO Convention 138
  
• Freedom of association and collective bargaining (ILO Conventions 87 and 98)
  
• A wage which is at least equal fo the legal minimumn wage and sufficient to cover workers' basic needs
  
• No excessive working hours and one day off per week
  
• Decent working conditions
  
• The security of an employment contract.

Recognition of the need for independent verification, facilitated by:

• transparency in the supply chain
  
• information to workers and protection of witnesses.

Sanctions

Sanctions can go as far as the withdrawal of FIFA licences.
