Israel - Israel Football Association


The Israel Football Association (, HaHit'aḥdut leKaduregel beIsrael), also known as the IFA, is the governing body of football in Israel. It organizes the football leagues, Israeli Premier League, Israeli Cup and the Israel national football team. It is based in Ramat-Gan.
The IFA was founded as Football Association of Eretz Israel/Palestine (under British mandate) in 1928.

History

The Eretz Israel/Palestine Football Association was founded in August 1928 and applied for membership in the FIFA. It was accepted to the FIFA on June 6 1929 as the Eretz Israel/Palestine Football Association. The first Eretz Israel/Palestine football league was set up in 1932. In 1956 the Israel Football Association was admitted to the Asian Football Confederation. In the early 1970s the Israel Football Association was expelled from the AFC due to political pressure from Arab and Muslim that refused to play against Israel. For 20 years the Israel Football Association was not affiliated with any confederation and was playing provisionally in the Oceania Football Confederation and in the UEFA until in 1994 it was admitted to the UEFA as a full member. Since then Israeli clubs have been playing in the various UEFA club competitions and the Israeli national team has been trying to qualify for the European Football Championship and for the FIFA World Cup as part of Europe.
