The highest authority in FIFA has always been the Congress, which convenes every two years. The Congress decides on the Statutes and their implementation, approves reports on financial details and general activities, adopts new members and elects officers. Regardless of its size or playing prowess, each member association has one vote, in truly democratic fashion. The FIFA Executive Committee acts as a kind of board of directors, composed of the FIFA President, seven vice-presidents and 16 members. A total of 18 standing committees support and advise the Executive Committee in a number of specialised areas, in addition to two judicial bodies, the Disciplinary Committee and the Appeals Committee, plus the Advisory Board for Marketing and Television.
