Domenico Scala, the independent chairman of FIFA’s audit and compliance committee, on Thursday unveiled an aggressive eight-point overhaul plan that he had presented to the organization’s powerful executive committee. The proposals, he said, offer top FIFA officials a chance to enact meaningful reforms for world soccer’s governing body as it navigates corruption investigations in the United States and Switzerland.

Mr. Scala said some of the measures he suggested could be adopted directly by the executive committee, which will next meet in Zurich in two weeks. Other measures would need to be voted on by the FIFA congress, which has representatives from all 209 member nations.

The next congress will be held in February, when FIFA’s members will gather to elect a president to replace the departing Sepp Blatter.

Not surprisingly, many of Mr. Scala’s proposals would reduce the power of the executive committee, which he called “one of the most problematic hot spots” in FIFA. But that means Mr. Scala is essentially asking the current executive committee members to reduce their influence, a prospect that he conceded would be challenging.
