Christer Ahl (2nd from left) and other panel members address “Sports Reform: How to change the tone at the top?”

Last Wednesday Christer Ahl gave a presentation at the Biannual Play the Game Conference in Aarhus, Denmark. His presentation provides an overview of International Handball Federation (IHF) governance issues that have taken place in the past few years including the dramatic increases in compensation for the IHF President and Council and the controversy surrounding the awarding of World Championship TV rights.

Christer concludes his presentation with a number of key points including the need for outside monitoring of international Federations,  increased support to sports development and FIFA reform, as this Federation is unfortunately seen as a model for many other federations to follow.
