FIFA promotes the independence and professionalisation of its
member associations through the construction of a "house of
football". The Goal Programme is an expression of solidarity
that provides the associations with tailor-made projects, such as
the construction of association headquarters, technical centres,
natural and artificial turf pitches and football schools. Where
possible, projects are carried out in collaboration with the
confederations and government authorities. The Goal Plus Programme
will use additional tools (e.g. technical advice and courses) to
ensure that autonomy constitutes a central pillar of the long-term
development strategy implemented by each member association.
