The Independent Soccer Review Committee published a report in 2003 on the governance of association football in Australia popularly called the Crawford Report. The committee was announced by the then Minister for Sport Rod Kemp and the Australian Parliament after extensive media publicity surrounding alleged mismanagement and corruption in the previous governing body, Soccer Australia. The impetus for reform was more acute after the public had witnessed the spectacle of the 2002 FIFA World Cup which contrasted with the near-bankrupt state of the local game. ==Precursor== A series of incidents highlighted the critical state of Soccer in Australia: *a) The failure of the Socceroos to qualify for the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Confederations Cup due to there being inadequate funds to send European based players to friendlies and the OFC Nations Cup. *b) The investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's ''Four Corners'' programme into conflicts of interest and mismanagement at the Board level at Soccer Australia. *c) The constant in-fighting between political factions and concentration of voting and legislative powers in a relative minority of people perpetuating bad governance. *d) The overt resistance to accept the government enquiry, and even an initial refusal to accept its recommendations despite the balance of government and public opinion seeking rapid implementation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2003 Report of the Independent Soccer Review Committee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
