global football governance

Global football governance is managed primarily by FIFA, the international governing body responsible for setting rules, organizing major tournaments like the World Cup, and overseeing national associations. FIFA works with continental confederations (e.g., UEFA, CONMEBOL) that manage regional competitions and support development within their areas. National football associations run the sport within individual countries, adhering to FIFA's regulations. This structure ensures unified standards, fair play, and the global growth of the game. Governance involves decision-making processes, adherence to regulations, and efforts to promote integrity and development across all levels of the sport worldwide.
