“…It can be argued that FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) has successfully developed its own private legal system to regulate the international football (soccer) industry (Gomtsyan et al 2018. The researchers quoted suggest that this leaves the organisation free of accountability to governments or to civil society.…”

This paper explores the mechanisms by which corporations can contribute to society. It examines the roles of regulation and the autonomous contributions of corporations. The roles of incentives to managers to 'do good' and of corporate culture to foster social responsibility are considered. The investigation finds that modern corporations are bound by a web of rules and signals that both constrain and support action towards social goals. These include not only formal regulation, but also signals from consumers, compliance with standards, employee expectations, supplier demands, and pressures from civil society. Rules and signals vary by place and time and corporate social responsibility practices must evolve with these pressures from stakeholders.

There is an ever-present danger that a private association may evolve into an enterprise with an elitist structure that extensively exploits its powers. While it is well known that the key role in limiting the excessive powers of state elites belongs to civil society, the question of policing the elites of monopolistic private orders is understudied. We use the case of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association's (FIFA) private order to illustrate how private orders evolve under constraints imposed by public orders. Although private ordering has advantages compared to public ordering, much of the credit for the success of FIFA's private order goes to the state. Regulatory privileges granted to FIFA, and the refusal to intervene widely in FIFA's affairs, have made private ordering possible in the first place. The challenge is, however, that private association capture by powerful interest groups can easily limit advantages of private ordering. In this situation, the proper role of the state is to act in the role of civil society by employing strategic interventions to help the private order deal with its governance failures without endangering the private order's existence. Accordingly, when the power within a monopolistic private membership association becomes heavily imbalanced, it invites the state to intervene in an attempt to restore the lost balance. However, opening the door to the state-as in the case of so-called FIFA-gate-increases the danger that other and greater interventions will undermine the existence of the private order and remove its advantages.

Background and Study Aim. Dribbling skills have a crucial role in the achievement of a football player, especially at a young age level such as the SSB Medan Satria U-16 Football team. This study aims to investigate the effect of speed and agility on the dribbling skills of SSB U-16 Medan Satria students.Material and Methods. The method used in this research is experimental, the data collection techniques used are tests and measurements. The population in this study were SSB U-16 Medan Satria students. The sample taken from the results of purposive sampling amounted to 20 students. The instrument used is a dribbling skill test. Data analysis using the SPSS 26 application.Results. The results showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05 so there is a significant effect of speed training on dribbling skills of soccer games. The application of agility training shows a significance value of 0.000 <0.05 so that there is a significant effect of agility training on dribbling skills of soccer games. Further results show the comparison between speed training and agility training shows a significance value of 0.000 <0.05 which means that there is a significant difference between speed training and agility training, the results also provide information that speed training is better for improving dribbling skills.Conclusions.The results of this study are expected to provide a clear picture of the effect of speed and agility training on dribbling skills at the youth level. These findings can then be applied in the development of a more specific and focused training program, with the aim of improving the quality of each player's dribbling skills.
