FIFA Fair Play

[1] The generic concept of fair play is a fundamental

part of the game of football. It represents the positive

benefits of playing by the rules, using common sense and

[4] respecting fellow players, referees, opponents and fans.

The Fair Play Campaign was conceived largely as

an indirect result of the 1986 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico,

[7] when the handball goal by Diego Maradona stimulated the

admirable reaction of the England coach, Sir Bobby Robson.

Since then, the campaign has had the unconditional support

[10] of former FIFA President João Havelange and his successor,

current President Joseph S. Blatter.

To give fair play more visibility, FIFA created a

[13] programme that turned the generic notion into a simple

design and an easy to understand code of conduct that could

be recognized and respected by players and fans alike.

[16] Fair Play has a fundamental role in sport and there

is a need to apply it to all sporting activities, especially

children’s. Children need strong values to grow up with, and

[19] football, being a team sport, makes them realize how

essential discipline, respect, team spirit and fair play are for

the game and for life.
