What is FIFA
FIFA. / (ˈfiːfə) / n acronym for. Fédération Internationale de Football Association: the international governing body of association football.
FIFA History
The headquarters of FIFA is a distinctive complex in Zurich. The complex has served as the official headquarters of FIFA, since its completion in 2006. It is located on the Zurichberg, a wooded hill in District 7.
The international governing organization for the association of football, futsal, and beach soccer is FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). It was established on May 21, 1904, making it one of the oldest and biggest NGOs in the world. Since then, 211 member associations have joined.
The first official football match between two nations was conducted between England and Scotland in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Partick, Glasgow. Next Year in 1873 England beat traveling Scots at the Oval. Later world’s 2nd national football association, the Scottish Football Association was formed in 1873. This was followed by the creation of the world’s second national football association, the Scottish Football Association in 1873. The first was The Football Association, the world’s only governing body.
As the playing of football is rising with the rise in inter-nation matches, the need for a global governing body emerged. The nations of continental Europe decided to go it alone and ‘FIFA’ was born in Paris. Initially, on 21st May 1904 the Football governing bodies of France, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland joined and were treated as founding members. Germany joined on the same day but was not treated as a founding member as it sent a telegram message only.
Mr. Gianni Infantino is the current president of FIFA.
