Homburger advised FIFA on the set-up of its Covid-19 relief plan
In the first two stages of the plan, FIFA provided for the immediate release of all pre-agreed operational cost payments to member associations and, subsequently, for the opportunity to transform development grants into COVID-19 operational relief funds.
In stage three, which was approved by the FIFA Council on June 25, 2020, further financial support will be provided through a system of grants and loans. A distinct governance structure has been set-up to ensure efficient implementation and effective oversight of the plan.
