The Foederatio Calcitro Internationalis (Latin for 'International Football Federation', abbreviated as FCI is the international governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal in Ajax. Founded in 1932, the purpose of the federation was to oversee international competition among the national football assoications of Belisaria. The FCI has its headquarters in City name, Country name, 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 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]. Although the FCI does not solely set the laws of the game, that being the responsibility of the International Football Federation Board of which FCI is a member, it applies and enforces that rules across all FCI competitions. All FCI tournaments generate revenue from sponsorships; in 2020, FCI had revenues of over LAS $5.8 billion[2], ending the 2016–2020 cycle with a net positive of LAS $1.2 billion, and cash reserves of LAS $3.1 billion.
