FIFA COMPETITIONS

 

Competition is what lies at the heart of Soccer. After all, what could be more testing of a player’s value and strength of character, and what could be more exciting for the fans than a truly competitive game of football? Article 2 of the FIFA statutes states that the aim of the Federation is to "foster friendly relations among national associations, confederations and their officials and players by promoting the organisation of football matches at all levels".  That is why the FIFA organises many competitions. Below we have listed some of the most spectaculars and most important Championships.
