FANA

FANA (/ˈfəːnə/ Fordian: Fotbollsföreningen för Alla Nationers Allmänhet, Everish: Football Association for the Public of All Nations, Lakadamian: Association de Football pour le Public de Tous les Pays du Monde, Latinican: Asociación de Fútbol para el Público de Todas las Naciones) is a non-profit organization which describes itself as an international governing body of association football, fútsal and beach soccer. It is the highest governing body of football.

FANA was founded in 1945 to oversee international competition among the national associations of Fordia, Lanovina, Decoria, Dýria, Evergreen and Scandavia. Headquartered in Krono, its membership now comprises 114 national associations. These national associations must each also be members of one of the seven regional confederations into which the world is divided: 1) Central and South Wulfor, 2) Central and South Sakoda, 3) North Sakoda and North Wulfor, 4) North Serica, 5) South Serica, 6) Latinica, and 7) Lakadasia and Tritonia.

Today, FANA outlines a number of objectives in the organizational Statutes, including growing football internationally, providing efforts to ensure football is accessible to everyone, and advocating for integrity and fair play. FANA is responsible for the organization and promotion of football's major international tournaments, notably the World Cup which commenced in 2015 and the Women's World Cup which commenced in 2021. Although FANA does not solely set the rules of football, that being the responsibility of the International Football Association Board of which FANA is a member, it applies and enforces the rules across all FANA competitions.

History
The need for a single body to oversee association football became apparent at the beginning of the 20th century with the increasing popularity of international fixtures. The Fotbollsföreningen för Alla Nationers Allmänhet (FANA) was founded in the rear of the headquarters of the Union av Atletiska Idrottsföreningar (UATI) in Krono, Fordia in August 1945. The Fordian name and acronym are used even outside Fordian-speaking countries. The founding members were the national associations of Fordia, Lanovina, Decoria, Dýria, Evergreen and Scandavia. Also, that same day, the Eldancan Football Association declared its intention of affiliating through a telegram.

Membership of FANA expanded beyond Wulfor with the additions of Flírskmasto in 1950, Aquia and Lakadamia in 1951 and Jarea in 1953.

Presidents
There have been a total of 10 presidents ever since FANA was founded in 1945. The first president was Colin Lindberg from the founding nation of Fordia. There have been two presidents who died in office: the second president Millard Possonnier from Lakadamia and the the fourth president Henry Laweson from Evergreen. The current president is Silla Bergsdóttir from Dýria, making her the first Dýrian president and the second woman president after Evergreen's Charlotte Powell (third after acting president Marguerite Couturier). She took office on 20 August 2020.

Structure
Besides its worldwide institutions, there are seven confederations recognized by FANA which oversee the game in the different continents and regions of the world. National associations, and not the continental confederations, are members of FANA. The continental confederations are provided for in FANA's statutes, and membership of a confederation is a prerequisite to FANA membership.
