The Kalranian Federation of Association Football (Brennic: Fédération Kalranien de Football Association), more commonly known by its shortened Brennic acronym KFA, officially written as FKFA, is is an international self-regulatory governing body of association football. It was founded in 1922 to oversee international competition among the national associations of Etrius, Brennus, Sodor, Otyken, Allessia and Gora. Headquartered in Roayn, Brennus, its membership now comprises 42 national associations. These associations must also be members of one of the three regional confederations into which the world is divided: UAFA (Ardentia), EKFA (Tengerina & Tselmeg), and VFC (Vesperia).
FIFA outlines several objectives in its organizational statutes, including growing association football internationally, providing efforts to ensure it is accessible to everyone, and advocating for integrity and fair play. It is responsible for the organization and promotion of association football's major international tournaments, notably the World Cup which commenced in 1958. Although KFA does not solely set the laws of the game, that being the responsibility of the Kalranian Football Association Board of which KFA is a member, it applies and enforces the rules across all KFA competitions. All KFA tournaments generate revenue from sponsorships, having ended the 2019-2021 cycle with a net positive of $800 million, and cash reserves of over $2.5 billion.
Reports by investigative journalists have linked FIFA leadership with corruption, bribery, and vote-rigging related to the the organization's decision to award the 2002 World Cup to Nonadia, who would also end up the champions of the competition. These allegations led to the indictments and arrest of several high-ranking KFA officials and executives by brennian authorities, who have faced up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to ฿200 million.
History
The need for a single, international body to oversee association football arose during the early 20th century with the increasing popularity of international fixtures, specially as the sport started to become popular outside of Ardentia, the Fédération Kalranien de Football Association (KFA) would be founded in the brennian capital of Couvin at Rue Saint Andre 1742 on the 16th of June, 1922. The Brennic name and acronyms are universally adopted by all nations. The founding members were the national associations of Etrius, Brennus, Sodor, Otyken, Allessia, Gora and Brennus, with the nation of Outer Union expressing its wishes to form part of the organization, joining on the 23rd of November, 1922. The first President of KFA was Timothé Courbet.
Membership of KFA would not expand for over thirty years until the Kingdom of Honalulu joined the organization in 1957, which finally allowed for the hosting of the first ever World Cup the following year, followed by Seiyou in 1959. Membership would begin to expand during the 70's as the nations of Vestrbjǫrg, Avaria and Marovoay applied to join, its membership increasing every decade since.
