100 years football




FIFA CENTENNIAL - PROGRAMME OF EVENTS

FIFA celebrates its Centennial in 2004 - 100 years "For the Good of the Game"

The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is commemorating its Centennial with a variety of activities throughout 2004 to pay tribute to the universality of football and honour people and places of historic importance to the "beautiful game". All festivities acknowledge the cultural, social and educational aspects of football as well as the huge commitment of the world football's governing body. The locations of the FIFA`s Centennial celebrations reflect football's globality: England (the country that created the Laws of the Game and exported the game to the world), France (FIFA's birthplace), Uruguay (the host nation of the inaugural FIFA World Cup™ in 1930) and Switzerland (FIFA's home for over 70 years). Here is an overview of the most important fixtures in FIFA's season of centennial celebrations:
