FIFA criticized for its management style

GENEVA (AP) -- FIFA has come under further criticism by European clubs, who are upset by the way the governing body runs international soccer.

The European Professional Football Leagues says FIFA takes unilateral decisions and appears to interfere in the business of its members.

The 30-league group's "dissatisfaction" echoes the European Club Association's warning Tuesday that it is losing patience with FIFA President Sepp Blatter's organization.

They are unhappy that FIFA has suggested a winter switch for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and "overburdened" players with extra international games.

The EPFL says it "invites FIFA to reconsider its decision-making process and enhance participative democracy."
