The IUFA (Austral: International Union of Football Associations, Sedunnic: Ilskaimmet Allunleas Ri nalisis (IARN), Karnetvorian: международный союз футбольных ассоциаций, Alman: Internationale Fußballverbandunion) is a global non-profit governing body of football, futsal and beach soccer.
The organisation was founded in 1956 after the Great War through an initiative led by Sedunn with the established goal to promote the sport globally and offer a peaceful alternative for common warfare to fight for glory. 15 other nations and territories were joining the newly founded organisation immediately: Esfalsa, Erinor and Sereva (as Erinor), Gianatla (as Gianlucaland), Hazelbrust, Karnetvor, Omega (as Ailments, Litus, Pecuniam, Silva, and Terra), Puerto Pollo, Ryccia, Ubesii and Valkyria (as Qvait, and Winston Island). These nowadays 11 countries or territories are officially considered the founding members of the IUFA.
