"Only nine sovereign entities are not members of FIFA: Monaco, Vatican City, United Kingdom, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Palau and Nauru." On what basis are these nine counted but others aren't (Kosovo, Sahrawi, etc)? Does FIFA have the power of diplomatic recognition? Does FIFA accept the UN as the arbiter of what entities are sovereign? --Khajidha (talk) 12:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The lead sentence states that FIFA "is the international governing body of association football, futsal and beach soccer." This implies that is the only existing, or even the only possible, international governing body for the sports. This inaccurate and misleading. While FIFA is clearly the most world governing body, there are probably other international governing bodies, and nothing is stopping Rupert Murdoch, or anybody else, from creating a competing international governing body.

Done Stickee (talk) 03:53, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]I don't have access to good books on this at the moment, but the couple of sentences here] contradict the mention at History of FIFA (also unsourced) which says that tournament was staged by the FA. Also, if amateurism is a founding principal of FIFA, that should be mentioned prominently, not just in passing, and it should be possible to find good sources. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 16:34, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the division into "major" and "minor" tournaments based on any reliable source? Seems a little subjective / POV-y. Grover cleveland (talk) 06:47, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please add BBC 2019 polls with 500 thousands respodents that stated Ronaldo as the best foreign midfielder in Premier League all time.
In Real Madrid website clearly stated Ronaldo won 3 UEFA Super Cups with Madrid. Why Wiki only wrote Ronaldo won 2 ?? I think its 2016 Cup missing from Ronaldo honours. If you think Ronaldo didnt deserved that because he didnt played in the final. But let me inform you FIFA rule all the players who include the squad member deserve that club honour though they didnt play in final. If you do that for Ronaldo you must do that to all player dont make double standard. Ex : Ronaldo Brazil didnt played a single match in 1994 World Cup but Wiki wrote Ronaldo Brazil won 1994 World Cup. Roy Keane and Paul Scholes didnt played in Champions League 1999 Final but Wiki wrote they won it. Lionel Messi didnt played in Champions League 2006 final and Supercoppa Espana 2005 final but Wiki wrote Messi won both cups. Gareth Bale also didnt played in UEFA Super Cups 2016 final but Wiki wrote Gareth Bale won the cup. Please be fair otherwise wiki will judge undermining Ronaldo accomplishment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.119.66.58 (talk) 04:57, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On what basis are the top 32 teams mentioned in the Rankings section? If it is about number of teams in the World Cup finals then I propose that it should be increased to 48 since the number of slots have been increased from 32 to 48 starting from 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The more I visit this page the more I am curious about the History of FIFA. This History section doesn't quite touch on the extent of FIFA's history. Is this because the sources don't exist? I would imagine finding historical coverage around FIFA's existence wouldn't be terribly difficult. PubHobbyst (talk) 14:50, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Context-T he last line of the lead section is : "The current President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, is an apologist for human rights abuses in culturally backward counties."
Personally , I find it highly offensive that some nations are being branded as "culturally backward" especially when the source (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63687412) does not mention so.
Thereby, we must remove this reference to nations being "culturally backward". Alexandria Bucephalous (talk) 03:42, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the name is football, why is the ruling of offside deemed to include bodies and arms, surely if the feet/head are behind the defenders feet/head, this should be deemed onside, not the swinging arms infront. Plays are to use feet and head. 92.30.108.117 (talk) 16:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"pronounced in English as /ˈfiːfə/ FEE-fə" Okay, I'll admit that as an American with little interest in sports AT ALL I have never listened to anyone saying this out loud, but I would like someone to confirm that this is correct. I could never say that with a straight face, as it reminds me too much of the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk: "fee fie foe fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman". --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 14:07, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the corruption and well documented bloat where money spent to grow the sport is largely used to buy luxuries for certain members of FIFA and FIFA-affiliated organizations, I would like to see a section discussing the public criticism of the organization. People need to know that not all is right within the organization of self-anointed guardians of world soccer (association football). -- Srwalden (talk) 04:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
