The Football Association

Director

The Football Association (founded 26 October 1863) is the governing body for association football in England; it codified early rules and established the FA Cup competitions.

Founded on October 26, 1863; first rules codified December 8, 1863 (initially 14 rules, later 17); associated with the creation of the International Football Association Board (1886); organizes the FA Cup (first held 1871–72).

A historically minded review that credits the English Football Association (founded 26 October 1863) with early codification of the game's rules, explains the tactical impact of the offside clarification and Herbert Chapman's WM, and discusses the 1930 FA Cup Final at Wembley where Arsenal won their first title.

For:football fans, sports historians, tactical analysts

 the merit of having "created" Football must be attributed to the English who, with the foundation of the Football Association on October 26, 1863, codified the first 14 rules (December 8 of the same year) later increased to 17: the organism responsible for their preservation/modification (International Football Association Board) was created only in 1886.
