The acronym "FIFA" stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association, which is the International Federation of Association Football in English. FIFA was founded in 1904 to oversee international competition among the national associations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Deutscher Fussball Bund, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
The History and Background of FIFA
The necessity for a single body to oversee affiliation soccer grew apparent at the beginning of the twentieth century with the proliferation of international tournaments. The national associations of Belgium, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland founded it. Its main objective was to supervise international competition among the national associations.
Corporate and Functional Roles of FIFA
Other objectives of FIFA's organizational statutes are to grow the game internationally, make it accessible for all, and promote integrity and fair play. It is the organization that organizes and promotes a number of major international tournaments; some of the most famous are the prestigious FIFA World Cup, initiated in 1930, and the Women's World Cup, initiated in 1991. Although FIFA does not make the laws of football, it applies them in all competitions that are sanctioned by its rules and regulations, for example, any match contested under a club or national representative registered to this governing body and is responsible for such things as promotion of the game at an international level.
FIFA Major Tournaments & Initiatives
FIFA is best known for international competitions like the FIFA World Cup. However, its system for determining which country should host each tournament has also been criticized, especially in the context of recent corruption and bribery investigations. FIFA hopes that football can be used as a tool to help foster social integration, provide more playing opportunities, and increase participation, aiming to grow the sport and ensure it is built.
Critical Reflections on Power and Politics in FIFA
In the case of organization, only FIFA's influence is known to be greater than its responsibility for that sport's rules of play, international player transfers, and establishing global standards for refereeing and coaching. The organization has been marred by reports of corruption, bribery, and vote rigging, which have resulted in the indictment of high-ranking officials as well as corporate executives. Nevertheless, FIFA continues to stand as a paladin of the football world faced with challenges but still has an objective: council and make sure that there are orders in association football worldwide for everybody should be given opportunities & treated fairly.
