History:
Founded in 1863, the Football Association,
as the governing body of football in England,
is responsible for promoting and developing the game at every level. Having
built its reputation as one of the world’s senior
football administrations, FA takes the
lead in providing a structure for organized football
in England. FA is also responsible for
establishing the regulatory framework for the football
in England, ensuring that the Laws of the
Game, agreed internationally, are followed at every level. Specific activities
of the association include running international
teams, organizing cup competitions (such
as the FA Cup), youth development, refereeing, coaching, medical matters,
and representing the English game internationally. The Football
Association has been a Limited Company
since 1903, thus, amendments to its rules are
subject to the approval of its shareholders.
