Its headquarters are in Zürich, Switzerland, and its current president is Sepp Blatter\n\nThe Laws of football that govern the game are not solely the responsibility of FIFA; they are maintained by a body called the International Football Association Board (IFAB).

Article from Reuters:\n\nMcClaren ready as Sven successor\nWed 03 May, 3:13 AM\n\nLONDON (Reuters) - After a week of being portrayed as bumbling incompetents, Football Association officials are expected to appoint Steve McClaren as the next England manager on Thursday. \n\nThe FA's abortive attempt to hire 2002 World Cup winner Luiz Felipe Scolari has led to a media savaging of English football's ruling body and its chief executive Brian Barwick. \n\nAlthough four candidates are in the running -- McClaren faces competition from fellow Englishmen Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley, plus Northern Ireland's Martin O'Neill -- the clear favourite is the Middlesbrough manager. \n\nThe promotion of McClaren, currently coach Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant, is expected to be agreed on Thursday by a meeting of the FA Board, who will be glad to bring an end to a national debate that has turned spectacularly sour. \n\nScolari, with his outstanding track record, strong will and tactical shrewdness, would have blown a fresh breeze through the England set-up when Eriksson leaves after the World Cup. \n\nHowever, the Brazilian, whose contract with Portugal expires after the finals in Germany, needed only a few days of scrutiny by the British press to realise this was not the job for him. \n\nA part of the England set-up for several years, McClaren will insure a continuity of approach and a minimum of disruption. \n\nTROPHY TRIUMPH \n\nHe is the only one of the English trio to have won a trophy, when Boro beat Allardyce's Bolton Wanderers in the 2004 League Cup final, and his team's remarkable run to next week's UEFA Cup final against Sevilla is praiseworthy. \n\nAllardyce, whose Bolton side have consistently punched above their weight in the Premier League, has not given up the fight. \n\n"I am more than keen - it is my dream job," he told the British media last weekend. "I am in with a shout and I am hopeful. \n\n"I am an Englishman and I am passionate. I am very good at what I do and I believe I would be very good at doing the England job, particularly at this stage of my life." \n\nCurbishley has announced his departure from Charlton Athletic, though he has stressed it had nothing to do with the England job. \n\nO'Neill is a proven winner as a player, notably lifting the European Cup with Nottingham Forest, and as a manager, winning the League Cup twice with Leicester City before securing a string of trophies with Celtic north of the border. \n\nHe has been out of the game since last year to care for his wife, who is ill, and the England job would clearly give him more flexibility than the daily grind of club coaching.
