When the world's first football association, The Football Association (FA), was formed in 1863, its geographical remit was not clear: there was no specification of whether it covered just England, all of the United Kingdom, the British Empire or even the entire world.
Keď v roku 1863 vznikla prvá futbalová asociácia (FA), jej geografické kompetencie neboli jasné: nevedelo sa, či asociácia spravuje len Anglicko alebo celú Veľkú Britániu.
