Reply to comment by BXCellent in TIL that FIFA is a French abbreviation, it would be IFAF in English, and England weren't an original member despite creating the game. FIFA also now has more members than the UN by BXCellent

Thats the problem.
IFFA could work - International Federation of Football Associations Or IFAF as international Football Associations Federation

Yeah that's why the sport is also called soccer. Take the soc out of association and add a er sound onto the end.

But anyway it's the federation of all assocations and not of "the sport"?!
