Football belongs to the fans, and its core value is sporting integrity. However, recent tournaments have shown that FIFA and UEFA are replacing traditional, open draws with a staged theater performance on stage.
Look at the recent World Cup draw: we saw how artificial FIFA restrictions dictated the entire process. Because Spain was placed in Group H, top-ranked Argentina was automatically blocked from entering Group I and manually forced into Group J. This was done under the guise of 'bracket balancing' to ensure elite teams like Spain and Argentina could not face each other until the final. This structural shifting protects elite nations, pre-determines knockout paths, and ruins the natural unpredictability of a true football draw.
This shifting of countries protects the elite, forces smaller nations into unfair travel schedules, and kills the magic of unpredictability. A draw is supposed to be blind, but it has been turned into a corporate marketing show where financial gain is prioritized over fair play.

Our Demand:

We, the football fans of the world, demand that both FIFA and UEFA (starting from the upcoming European Championship) commit to a 100% blind, manual, and fully transparent draw.

No more manual shifting: Once a country is drawn from the bowl, it must stay in that group. No more manipulating pots at the tables on stage.

No protection for the elite: Every qualified nation must have an equal chance from the start, without artificial shifts to boost TV markets or ticket sales.

True Sporting Integrity: Bring back the genuine romance of the game. Let the balls in the glass bowls decide the fate of the teams—not corporate interests.

Sign this petition to demand that FIFA and UEFA respect the fans, the players, and the spirit of fair play. Let a draw be a genuine draw again!
