History:
The third oldest football governing body,
the Football Association of Wales (FAW)
was established in 1876. A member of both
FIFA and UEFA, FAW forms part of an elite
group of five football federations (with
the English Football Association, Scottish
Football Association, Northern Irish Football
Association, and FIFA) that compose the
International Football Association Board,
responsible for the Laws of the Game. Along
with its leading role in international football,
FAW also administers six international teams
in Wales, including the "A", "Under
21", "Under 18", "Under
16", "Women's" and "Girls
Under 16". A governing council sets
the pace for FAW, consisting of a President,
two Vice-Presidents, Treasurer and twenty
elected/nominated members. Her Majesty The
Queen serves as FAW’s patron.
