thread_title: Home nations power on the IFAB

message: The presence of 4 UK members on the board is the main reason why the UK has no Olympic football team - since they think a unified team will harm their existence as separate entities. Perhaps there should be a section on this? Malick78 (talk) 15:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While I'm sure the home nations' governing bodies enjoy their level of influence in the IFAB, surely resistance to a unified Olympic team is more about a perceived threat to their (arguably anachronistic) separate existence as national teams in international competitions? Jellyman (talk) 23:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

text: The main opposition to a single UK team for the olympics comes from the three smaller Associations, they know that there is little chance of one of 'their' players making the team. No disrespect meant to Scottish, Welsh or NI football, it's a simple matter of maths with England making up 84% of the UK population. Markb (talk) 09:46, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe Jellyman to be more on the money. A combined UK team is not a fruitful alliance. 84.92.169.252 (talk) 15:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Do you pronounce "IFAB" as one word or letter by letter? E. g. "eefupp" or "I.F.A.B."? I'm a little confused regarding this because "FIFA" is pronounced as one word. --31.17.159.244 (talk) 03:34, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Never heard this spoken aloud before, but I did a search and according to this FIFA video, it's eye-fab. I don't think including this pronunciation is necessary for this article. --LukeSurl t c 09:13, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Should/how can this be included:
On 14 April 2016, it was announced Serie A was selected by the International Football Association Board to test video replays, which will initially be private for the 2016–17 season, before allowing them to become a live pilot phase with replay assistance by the 2017–18 season at the latest; while Italian Football Federation president Carlo Tavecchio says, "We were among the first supporters of using technology on the pitch and we believe we have everything required to offer our contribution to this important experiment."
