Article 11

Accepting and Giving Gifts and Other Benefits

Officials are not permitted to accept gifts and other benefits that exceed the average relative value of local cultural customs from any third parties. If in doubt, gifts shall be declined. Accepting gifts of cash in any amount or form is prohibited. While performing their duties, officials may give gifts and other benefits in accordance with the average relative value of local cultural customs to third parties, provided no dishonest advantages are gained and there is no conflict of interest. Officials may not be accompanied to official events by family members at the expense of FIFA, the confederations, associations, leagues and clubs or other organisations, unless expressly permitted to do so.
