Fifa considers Foe memorial
Fifa is considering a permanent memorial to honour Marc-Vivien Foe, the Cameroon international who died during the Confederations Cup in France two years ago.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter told a news conference in Frankfurt, Germany, that the world body`s Ethics Committee would be considering the matter.
Blatter said it was possible Fifa would name a trophy after Foe to be awarded to the outstanding player in the Confederations Cup.
"There was a suggestion to name the Confederations Cup competition after him, but in the end the African confederation thought it was better for the competition to have a neutral name.
"Now one of the things the Ethics Committee will discuss is a trophy for the best player of the tournament named after him.
"It is right that we should never forget what happened and maintain the memory of this player.
"Many people linked to football die all the time but his death was a very emotional one.
We have already established a foundation of $789,900 to provide for his family and for the education of his three young children."
Foe, with no-one around him, suddenly fell to the ground in the 72nd minute of Cameroon`s semi-final with Colombia in Lyon on June 26, 2003 and never regained consciousness.
A heart problem was later diagnosed as the probable cause of death.
Fifa dedicated Sunday`s semi-final between Argentina and Mexico in Hanover to his memory and are also putting in place plans to prevent a repetition of the tragedy.
All 32 teams at next year`s World Cup finals will be required to present evidence that their players` hearts are in good condition in an effort to prevent further cases of sudden cardiac arrest in footballers.
"The aim is to identify problems in advance, using special sports-cardiological diagnostics," said Fifa medical co-ordinator Professor Toni Graf-Baumann of Germany.
