Lise Klaveness was only a few weeks into her post as the president of Norway’s soccer federation last year when she decided to start saying the quiet parts out loud. There had been talk of procedural matters, and updates on the financial details. Klaveness, one of the few women in soccer leadership, had other themes on her mind. Addressing matters that for years had dogged FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, she spoke about ethical questions, about migrant workers, about the rights of women and gay people. By the time Klaveness had finished about five minutes later, she had, in typically direct style, issued a challenge to FIFA itself.
