While running for the FIFA presidency, from which he redrew, in 2015, he stated: “I’m very worried about the deteriorating situation at FIFA. The public opinion, the trustwothiness, is very bad, and with me a lot of people in the world believe so.” A clear sign that van Praag has a strong opinion about the current corrupt culture.
