Collection: Bonita Mersiades

Bonita Mersiades is one of the first people in the world to speak out about the environment and culture within which world football and FIFA operated in the context of the 2018/2022 World Cup bidding contest. Accordingly, Bonita is known as a 'FIFA whistleblower' and advocated globally for independent governance reform of world football administration long before the famous 2015 FIFA arrests in Zurich.

She is the founder and publisher of Fair Play Publishing, the Football Writers' Festival and the Manly Writers' Festival.

She has worked professionally and voluntarily in football, including as team manager of the Socceroos and Head of Corporate and Public Affairs for Football Australia. 

She is Chairman of NBCCC.org.au, a local cancer charity. She writes very occasionally at her blog, bonitamersiades.com.au.
