The Foederatio Calcitro Internationalis (Latin for 'International Football Federation', abbreviated as FCI) is the international governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal worldwide. Founded in 1932, the FCI was initially organised to oversee international competition among the national football associations of Belisaria but soon came to incorporate national football associations from the rest of the world. Presently, the FCI has its headquarters in Castellum, Latium, and presently comprises 94 national associations. These national associations must also be members of one of the six continental confederations: MFF (Malaio), OAFF (Ochran), OFC (Oxidentale), UBCS (Belisaria), UNFA (Norumbia), and SCU (Scipia).

The FCI outlines several objectives in its organisational statutes, including growing association football internationally, providing efforts to ensure it is accessible to everyone, and advocating for integrity and fair play. It is also responsible for the organisation and promotion of association football's major international tournaments, notably the World Cup, which commenced in 1932, and the Women's World Cup, which began in 1993[1]. Additionally, the FCI sets the laws of the game and is responsible for applying and enforcing those rules across all FCI competitions. All FCI tournaments generate revenue from sponsorships; in 2020, FCI had revenues of over LAS $5.8 billion, ending the 2016–2020 cycle with a net positive of LAS $1.2 billion and cash reserves of LAS $3.1 billion[2].

Despite their mission of promoting and enforcing fair play and the laws of the game, advocates and independent watchdog groups have noted the FCI leadership involvement in corruption, bribery, and vote-rigging of international tournament matters. Most recently, the organisation's decision to award the hosting privileges of the 2004 World Cup to Gran Aligonia has been reported by investigative journalists to be rife with reports citing gifts of beachfront property, supercars, and Hemicyon security, and the corruption of the voting process on the part of then FCI president Malbona Viro for Gran Aligonia. These allegations led to the boycotting of several nations, eventually culminating in the indictments of several high-ranking FCI officials and corporate executives by the Anti-Corruption Coalition of Football Associations (ACCFA), an ad-hoc international criminal tribunal formed by a coalition of national football associations which would eventually become the FCI Ethics Committee. On 02 February 2008, several of those indicated were arrested by Latin authorities, their charges including racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering alongside the aforementioned corruption and bribery.

Many officials were suspended by the ACCFA's independent ethics committee, including the ousting of Malbona Viro as president of FCI. The 2005 FCI corruption case also contributed to the 2005 Gran Aligonian protests, that led to the internal mutiny of the Xendarmeria, who were unwilling to continue policing the protests. In the face of the Xendarmeria mutiny, the Gran Aligonia Duque passed the Valladares-Botello Act, which expanded the powers of the Gran Aligonian Grand Ministry by introducing veto power.

Flag

The FCI flag is blue, with the organization's wordmark logo in the middle. The current FCI flag was first flown during the 2005 FCI World Cup opening ceremony in Villa Romera, Gran Aligonia.

Anthem

FCI adopted Sogno di Volare (also known as “The Dream of Flight”) , composed by Christopher Tin, as its anthem since the 1996 FCI World Cup. The FCI Anthem is played at the beginning of official FCI-sanctioned matches and tournaments such as international friendlies, the FCI World Cup, FCI Women's World Cup, FCI U-20 World Cup, FCI U-17 World Cup, Football at the Summer World Games, FCI U-20 Women's World Cup, FCI U-17 Women's World Cup, FCI Futsal World Cup, FCI Beach Soccer World Cup, FCI Intercontinental Cup and the FCI Club World Cup.

FCI also requires its broadcast partners to use short sequences, including the anthem at the beginning and end of FCI event coverage and for break bumpers to help promote FCI's sponsors, emulating the practices long used by international sporting events, such as the IPSR Mulawil Halaab (Mutul for World Court). Exceptions may be made for specific cultural and traditional circumstances; however, as of 2024, there were no known instance where the FCI allowed for a local host piece to be used as its bumpers.
