FIFA statutes come into effect

The initial statutes of FIFA were established to create a structured framework for international football governance. These statutes recognized only the National Associations that were represented, ensuring that the governing body had a clear and organized membership. This recognition was crucial for maintaining the integrity of international competitions and ensuring that all participating nations adhered to a common set of rules. Additionally, the statutes stipulated that players could only represent two National Associations at a time, which aimed to prevent conflicts of interest and maintain fair play in international matches. Furthermore, the statutes mandated that all Associations would recognize the suspension of a player in any other Association, promoting a unified approach to player discipline across borders. Matches were required to be played according to the established "Laws of the Game of the Football Association Ltd," which provided a standardized set of rules for international play. This foundational framework laid the groundwork for FIFA's future development and the global expansion of football as a sport.
