Scandals of corruption can tarnish their reputation. This can make sponsors drop out.

FIFA believe football creates powerful opportunities to break down barriers. They aim to increase social development, education and health awareness.

From 2005-2015, support FIFA has provided through FFH has benefited 450 programmes run by 170 non govt organisations serving many people over the world.
Here are some things they help with:
.HIV /AIDS education
. Gender Equality - Another way to break down barriers
. Social integration - intellectual disabilities - This is another way of breaking down barriers
.Youth leadership - This will inspire young people become involved in football

There is another programme FIFA are involved in called Football For The Planet. 
This aims to limit the negative effects football is having on the environment. Waste management in stadiums and sustainable stadiums and reducing their carbon dioxide. 

Recent: Russia 2018 World Cup - Sustainability Strategy 
. Decent working conditions
. Create opportunity for people from low income groups to obtain tickets
. Promote healthy lifestyles - tackling social issues (crime/anti-social behaviour)
.Promote biodiversity


Running these programmes allow FIFA to try and change the public perception of them to a more postive one as the media can over exaggerate the corruption scandal for e.g but fail to show how FIFA are actually creating a positive change. 

This tells us that FIFA have many different projects in which they aim to become more sustainable however, many people are still unaware of funding that is available to allow changes and development to take place within communities.

Sponsorship plays a major role in the progression of the Olympics, the support of the businesses involved rely mostly on viewers , promoting the games around the world ,but for some countries TV rights are different , the IOC alone gains around 100 million per sponsorship that totals to over  1 billion from sponsors, revenues from sponsors amount to 40% of the games revenue or more, popular sponsors such as McDonalds and Samsung are involved.   

The Olympic Committee works towards promoting,
- Assistance to develop "Sport for All".
- Advancements of women in sport at all levels with a view of achieving equality between men and women.
- Promoting sports ethics and fair play.
- Providing financial and educational support through the IOC Institution Olympic solidarity for developing countries.

• Continue to monitor and improve environmental performance.

• Take steps to continually reduce carbon footprint.

• Continually work with partners and suppliers to achieve best environmental practice.

• Communicate environmental achievements to staff, visitors and other stakeholders.

 

Environmental sustainability has been a key issue for The FA Group since the new Wembley Stadium opened its doors to the sporting public and music fans in 2007. 

 

As a world-class venue with over 2m visitors per annum, Wembley Stadium has significant operational and sustainability impacts. To this end, in 2008 Wembley’s ‘Green Team’ developed and implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) to manage these impacts and drive efficiencies in energy, waste, water, transport and procurement.
