The opening of the most critical gathering of International Football’s Governing Body is on June 10 while the Congress would take place on the eve of Brazil’s FIFA World Cup opener against Croatia in the same city.

The Congress – which since 1998 has been taking place annually – makes decisions relating to FIFA's governing statutes and the method by which they are implemented and applied.

It also approves the annual report, decides on the acceptance of new national associations and holds elections, most notably for the FIFA presidency. In the spirit of true democracy, each National Association has one vote, regardless of its size or footballing strength.
