FIFA is the global governing body for futsal, beach football, and association football (International Association Football Federation). It was created in 1904 to control competition among the national associations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland across continents.
Based in Zürich, it is a Swiss organization having 211 national associations as members. The six regional federations that make up the world are CONCACAF (North and Central America and the Caribbean), UEFA (Europe), OFC (Oceania), AFC (Asia and Australia), and CONMEBOL.
Each and every one of these national associations must belong to one of these regional federations (South America).
The organizational Statutes of FIFA set forth a number of goals, including promoting honesty and fair play, increasing accessibility to association football for all people, and expanding the sport internationally.
It is in charge of organizing and advertising significant international competitions for association football, such as the World Cup, which made its debut in 1930, and the Women’s World Cup, which made its debut in 1991.
The International Football Association Board, of which FIFA is a member, is ultimately in charge of defining the rules of the game, but FIFA applies and enforces them across all FIFA competitions.
