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. |
