| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 體育學系碩士班 === 102 === Living the passion of football for more than twenty years and being interested and involved in football association organizational field, then studying the Fédération Internationale de Football Association and its members was an obvious choice. I have been curious about the fact that FIFA gets more members than the United Nations since I was a junior high school student.
This research is made with the aim to discover the reason why FIFA members are more than UN members, and more specifically what decisions the International Football Association Federation made to allow itself to gather more members than the United Nations. Both FIFA and UN met their biggest growth during the 20th century and the decolonization of most of former European colonies worldwide.
Did FIFA played kind of a precursor role and accepted colonies as members before their independence and before they became members of the United Nations? Are the members FIFA has but not UN are all non-independent countries? Are they going to be soon independent?
It is with a descriptive approach that will be analyzed documents concerning the history of the territory and the football association of the members FIFA gets but not the United Nations. Strongly supposing that the FIFA rules are the key to solve this problem, FIFA Statutes which were published every year will be analyzed also.
The result of these analysis shows that FIFA gathers more members than the UN because of its membership policy that allowed colonies or non-independent territories which cannot be represented in the United Nations to become FIFA members. Surveying the FIFA members which are not UN members does not really show any correlation about the fact that FIFA would be a precursor by granting membership to territories which would become independent in a near future.
