Its first president was Robert Guérin, who was replaced in 1906 by the Englishman Daniel Burley Woolfall. As a result, FIFA was founded at the headquarters of the USFSA (Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques). The reason is the huge growth in the popularity of this sport in the international arena. The need to establish a single supervisory body for competitions by football associations was acute at the beginning of the 20th century. Moreover, the original version of the expanded and abbreviated names is used throughout the world only in French. The connection with French roots is very important because it appeared in France’s capital and only then acquired world status.
