A bit of G.K. for football lovers who might happen to read my blog...The Fédération Internationale de Football Association was founded in Paris on the same date as today in 1904.
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (International Federation of Association Football), commonly known by its acronym, FIFA (usually pronounced /fifə/ or /fifæ/), is the international governing body of association football. Its headquarters are in Zürich, Switzerland, and its current president is Joseph Blatter. FIFA is responsible for the organization and governance of football's major international tournaments, most notably the FIFA World Cup, held since 1930. FIFA has 208 member associations, which is 16 more than the United Nations and 3 more than the International Olympic Committee.
ps: Courtesy again to Wikipedia for telling me about the significance of today's date in history!!!
