The Football Association (the FA) is the organisation that controls English football.
Formed in 1863, it is the oldest football association in the world.[1] It is responsible for overseeing the amateur and professional game in England and the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
The FA is a member of FIFA and UEFA and has a seat in the International Football Association Board (IFAB), which is responsible for the Laws of the Game. The FA is also a member of the British Olympic Association, which means that they also have control over the Great Britain Olympic football team.
The FA has only a little bit of control of the Premier League and the English Football League, although all professional teams in England are members of the FA.
