FIFA provides different avenues for reporting safeguarding concerns. The following avenues are available for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Seychelles 2025.
FIFA takes a zero-tolerance approach to maltreatment, harassment, abuse neglect and/or exploitation and all issues raised will be handled in line with our statutory rules, codes of conduct and internal guidelines.

"Always on" reporting
FIFA provides a confidential, dedicated, highly secure and web-based whistleblowing system so that individuals can report any safeguarding concern.

Additionally, you can also use the the FIFA Reporting Portal (select the “Violation of the FIFA Code of Ethics” category and then the subject “A Form of Abuse, Harassment, Neglect, or Exploitation”).
