Title FIFA has as its primary goal “to improve the game of football
Description  Darren Heitner is a lawyer and the Founder of South Florida-basedHEITNER LEGAL, P.L.L.C., which has a focus on Sports Law and Entertainment Law. Follow DarrenHeitnerWorld Cup Mania: Figuring Out FIFA, Soccer Tax. We are in full World Cup mode at my house. My kids are huge soccer fans (you may know this if you’re a regular reader) and they’ve been counting down to the first game (Brazil beat Croatia) for months. They’ve made posters and charts and insisted on buying souvenirs, including a stuffed version of the Fuleco, the armadillo who serves as the current World Cup mascot. And predictably, they have peppered me with questions, mostly about FIFA since the initials appear on everything from Fuleco to the game balls. What is it? Who runs it? And their favorite question: who gets to keep all of that money? I mumbled through some explanation about how it’s sort of the NFL of world soccer and then realized that I wasn’t actually sure about the details. So I did some digging. If you, like me, wonder exactly what FIFA is and what it does, here’s the scoop: FIFA is an abbreviated version of F eacute;d eacute;ration Internationale de Football Association, the international governing body of soccer. Soccer is, of course, called football everywhere else in the world except in the U.S., where we call American football, football. FIFA has as its primary goal “to improve the game of football constantly and promote it globally in the light of its unifying, educational, cultural and humanitarian values, particularly through youth and development programmes.” A truly international organization, it’s been referred to as the “United Nations of Football.” Today, it employs about 310 people from over 35 nations and consists of 209 member associations. That’s a huge leap from its humble beginnings in 1904 when it served just seven member associations (France, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland). The management of FIFA is central, set up a bit like our own government, with a Congress (legislative body), Executive Committee (executive body) and General Secretariat (administrative body). The FIFA Congress is made up of representatives from each affiliated member association. It meets about once a year fifa16coinbuy and each of the member associations gets one vote on matters of importance no matter how big or dominant the association (so yes, that means that Spain gets the same vote as Cameroon). Generally, the Congress does exactly what you’d expect: passes the laws that govern the organization and approves the annual report (including the budget). Presidents are appointed for four year terms by the Congress. FIFA’s current President is Sepp Blatter, who has served since 1998. Blatter is only the 8th President to have served in the more than 100 years of FIFA’s existence (Jules Rimet of France served an extraordinary 33 years in the mid-20th century). Blatter lives in Zurich, where FIFA makes its headquarters.
