ABOUT FIFA

A WORLD CONNECTED
BY FOOTBALL.

FIFA is the global governing body for football, working with member associations to develop the game and organise international competitions.

THE WORLD’S GAME

GLOBAL REACH.
A SHARED PURPOSE.

Founded in 1904, FIFA brings together a network of 211 member associations. That network spans six confederations and connects football communities across countries and territories.

FIFA organises international competitions and works with associations and other stakeholders on the development of football, from participation and education to the global stage.

Football’s impact extends beyond results. It creates space for connection, identity and shared experiences across cultures.
