“The FIFA Foundation should be operational by the first quarter of 2018 and will initially comprise the FIFA President and two members of the FIFA Council, Sonia Bien-Aime and Kwesi Nyantakyi.
“Later in the year, the FIFA Council will appoint a selection of respected personalities – from football and other areas of society – as additional members of the Foundation Board.
Nyantakyi was re-elected as a member of the FIFA Council early this year, before he was appointed as the 1 Vice President of the Confederation of African Football.
