    International organization

    By the early 20th century, football had spread across Europe, but it was in
    need of international organization. A solution was found in 1904, when
    representatives from the football associations
    of Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden,
    and Switzerland founded the Fédération Internationale de Football
    Association (FIFA).

    Although Englishman Daniel Woolfall was elected FIFA president in 1906 and


    all of the home nations (England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales) were
    admitted as members by 1911, British football associations were disdainful of
    the new body. FIFA members accepted British control over the rules of
    football via the International Board, which had been established by the home
    nations in 1882. Nevertheless, in 1920 the British associations resigned their

    I. The British associations rejoined FIFA in 1924 but soon after insisted upon
    a very rigid definition of amateurism, notably for Olympic football. Other
    nations again failed to follow their lead, and the British resigned once more in
    1928, remaining outside FIFA until 1946. When FIFA established the World
    Cup championship, British insouciance toward the international game
    continued. Without membership in FIFA, the British national teams were not
    invited to the first three competitions (1930, 1934, and 1938). For the next
    competition, held in 1950, FIFA ruled that the two best finishers in
