“Therefore it has become clear to me that maybe the better wise way to go is to take your time to reform, make all the changes, bring the strength into it, get the approval and then you can play the football by the guidelines of the new statutes and then things will be better.â€
He added, “I don’t regret it because we were doing it with the purity of our hearts and desire to help our football community. But we all learn from happenstances and this happenstance has shown us that the better way to have gone was to finish the reform before playing football.â€
The Normalisation Committee mandate is expected to end on 31 March 2019 where their work will be reviewed by FIFA.
Meanwhile, a committee has been set up to come up with a roadmap to enable that the special competition comes off.
