Laws and Regulations

At the top of the worldwide football hierarchy is FIFA, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, whose rules must be followed by all member football associations organizations. FIFA’s main objectives are to continuously improve the game of football and globally promote it, to organize international competitions, to draw up regulations and provisions governing the game of football and related matters and ensure their enforcement, to control every type of association football by taking appropriate steps to prevent infringements of the FIFA Statutes, regulations or decisions of FIFA or of the Laws of the Game, to promote integrity, ethics and fair play with a view to preventing all methods or practices, such as corruption, doping or match manipulation, which might jeopardize the integrity of matches, competitions, players, officials and member associations or give rise to abuse of association football.

FIFA’s rules and regulations are mainly contained within (i) the FIFA Statutes, regulations for FIFA’s governing system, and (ii) the Laws of the Game, codified rules of association football. The FIFA Statutes provide the necessary means to resolve disputes that may arise between or among member associations, confederations, clubs, officials and players. The Council of FIFA regulates the status of players and the provisions for their transfer, as well as questions relating to these matters, in particular the encouragement of player training by clubs and the protection of representative teams, in the form of special regulations. All bodies and officials must observe the Statutes, regulations, decisions and Code of Ethics of FIFA in their activities. Every person and organization involved in the game of football is obliged to observe the Statutes and regulations of FIFA as well as the principles of fair play. Each member association must play association football in compliance with the Laws of the Game issued by the International Football Association Board, or IFAB. IFAB is a separate organization from FIFA, but FIFA is represented on the board and holds 50% of the voting power. Only IFAB may enact and alter the Laws of the Game.

Member associations from the same continent or region have formed the following six confederations, which are recognized by FIFA: (1) Asian Football Confederation – AFC; (2) Confederation of African Football – CAF; (3) Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football – CONCACAF; (4) Oceania Football Confederation – OFC; (5) South American Football Confederation – CONMEBOL
