With FIFA holding such an extreme position of importance within the footballing ecosystem, associations have come to be at the mercy of the organisation, without whose support and backing, the associations are left in a state of isolation from the footballing world. Through the establishment of this governance system, FIFA has been successful in autocratically exercising control over member confederations and associations, with no questions being asked pertaining to the extent of this control, as a result of which the federations might often get inherently restrained and sanctioned. 

The reason why the policy of preventing third-party intervention is so strictly required to be complied with, and is stressed on so much that it is a must for an association to keep intact its membership, and is to ensure that there is no executive interference in the working of the footballing authority and that it is completely independent in its practice. Avoiding excessive government influence in the choices made by sports organizations is the initial step to be taken in order to reach this vision of autonomy. The autonomy of regulatory agencies remains essential for providing long-term support to the effective governance of sports organizations.
