FIFA, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, is the global governing body responsible for organizing and overseeing international football (soccer) competitions. Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, FIFA's mission is to develop and promote football worldwide, ensuring the game is played fairly and inclusively across all continents. It comprises 211 member associations, making it one of the largest and most influential sports organizations in the world. Through its authority, FIFA regulates the rules of the game, sets international standards, and supports football development programs in countries of all sizes and levels.
The most recognized event under FIFA's leadership is the FIFA World Cup, held every four years and widely regarded as the pinnacle of international football. In addition to the men’s and women’s World Cups, FIFA also organizes youth, futsal, and beach soccer tournaments, as well as club competitions like the FIFA Club World Cup. While the organization has played a crucial role in globalizing and professionalizing the sport, it has also faced criticism and controversy over governance and transparency. Nonetheless, FIFA remains central to the sport’s global structure, connecting nations through the universal language of football.
