Why can the UK have 4 FIFA seats?

Four teams from England compete in the World Cup because:

The World Cup is hosted by FIFA. FIFA is not a political organization or group, but rather an organization whose members are based on the Football Association.

For example, there is no England team in the World Cup. Because there is no single football association in the UK. The FA of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have separate seats at FIFA. So they can all send teams to compete.

In China, there are also four independent football associations: China, Macau, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei. When participating in the World Cup, it is also divided into four teams.

In addition, the level of English football itself is very high, and once a team is combined, problems such as dividends and players playing will arise in various local football associations. In addition, the UK is divided into four FIFA member divisions, and there is a fair distribution of participation in the competition.

As early as the 19th century, the above four regions have been established by the FA, and they are established members of FIFA when they were founded, so it is stipulated that the United Kingdom can send four teams to each football competition organized by FIFA. But the International Olympic Committee disagreed, so Britain could only send one team to the Olympics.

In 1946, the "father of the World Cup" Jules Remet won the participation of four football associations in the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) into FIFA, and as the birthplace of modern football, these four football associations still have independent qualifications for the World Cup.

The FIFA World Cup is organized by FIFA and is attended by the teams of each football association, so it is not accurate to think that the World Cup is a game between countries, it is actually a game between associations, but most countries have only one football association, so it seems that most of the games are indeed games between countries.

It is for this reason that there are four football associations in the United Kingdom that are members of FIFA, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, all of whom have the right to participate in the World Cup. The opening match in 1998 was Scotland against Brazil, and Manchester United's famous star Ryan Giggs is a Welshman, who has only played for Wales in his life, so unfortunately he has never been able to participate in the World Cup. Now do you understand?

The team in England is not called England, and England is just one of four English teams.

In fact, this phenomenon is not uncommon in FIFA, do you know of any other country that also has four teams that can participate in the World Cup?

It's China. Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and China are members of the four FIFA associations, so strictly speaking, the Chinese team you see doesn't actually represent the whole of Chinese football, it can only represent a quarter, and we did have been eliminated by Hong Kong in the World Cup qualifiers, and we are in the same group as Hong Kong in the World Cup Asian qualifiers.

In particular, it should be pointed out that the Chinese Football Association and ** TV station call it the Chinese national football team or national team in public, which is completely wrong, just like we can't say that England is the British national team.

China also has four teams that can participate (mainland, Hong Kong, Taipei, Macau), so they are not qualified to give comments.

The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales. Each district has its own football association, has its own league, and even events such as the World Cup and the European Championship can have four football associations to participate in, of course, England is the strongest, and often represents the whole of England on the stage of the World Cup.

Because these four associations were founded earlier than FIFA, they joined separately after FIFA was founded.

Because the UK is divided into four regions.

Because the English name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is uk, it is divided into England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

This is the history of the United Kingdom.

So some people think that if the British national team formed a team, maybe it would be stronger and easier to win the World Series.

Because the United Kingdom is divided into four regions: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales

Because the so-called Britain is made up of four countries.

They are the State of England, the State of Scotland, the State of Northern Ireland and the State of Wales.

Hello. Because Ingoland is registered separately in FIFA, i.e. FIFA.

You say Scotland, Wales. There is another Commonwealth Republic, a member of Northern Ireland. I didn't participate because.

They did not pass the European qualifiers for the World Cup. So I didn't make it to the round of 32 of the World Cup. Remember 98.

England and Scotland both entered.

Just kidding. If Chinese football is super fierce. Then the top 32 China may occupy 4 seats.

Taiwan, China. Hong Kong, China and Macau, China) for the same reason...Because they are all registered separately with FIFA, they each get a place in the World Cup qualifiers.

Because they are federal. Consists of 4 countries.

The Chinese name of the United Kingdom is customary, but it is not correct, and the United Kingdom is actually Britain (Britain), or United KingdomIt's a country made up of four administrative regions, each with its own soccer team to the World Cup

It consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Because England is the birthplace of football. This is its prerogative.

This question has been asked by n people.

It's like Hong Kong and Taiwan in China.

UEFA and FIFA admit that they have 4 football associations, in fact, the United Kingdom is also a United Kingdom, some policies are unified, some are separate, and the Football Association is separate.

The United Kingdom has 4 FIFA member units, the English FA, the Scottish FA, the Welsh FA, and the Northern Ireland FA.

The greatest britain is the United Kingdom, consisting of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland! FIFA allows!

But he won't be able to participate in the Olympics.

The humor of public art is for everyone.

The full name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain, which was originally called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland because Northern Ireland, one of its dependencies, became independent.

English writing: The United Kingdom of Great Britain

The United Kingdom has long been divided into four dependencies: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and they have a great deal of administrative independence. (Now Northern Ireland is independent).

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have been independent World Cup participants and FIFA members since 1990.

To be exact, in the 1966 World Cup in England, the champion team should be England, and the stars on England's jersey should not have it.

The flag of England is a red cross.

Since the capital of the United Kingdom and ** in London, it is also the capital of England, and in addition, England is the largest and strongest subject of the United Kingdom, so people will replace Britain with England.

Because England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are registered separately with FIFA, they can be played separately, in other words, if China is strong enough, the top 4 are all likely to be Chinese (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau) because they are also registered separately in FIFA. Of course, this can only be an eternal dream buried in the hearts of Chinese fans! Sad

Because modern football originated in England.

Personally, I think it's the country of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and I want to win more championships!

Get used to the fact that Britain is the Commonwealth just translated from Chinese to British

Isn't it the same with China, Hong Kong and Taiwan?

When FIFA was founded, England already had England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (not Northern Ireland) FA (Football Association, or Football Association). FIFA admits members according to the Football Association, and the four FA clubs do not give in to each other, so they each participate in becoming FIFA members. In the future, it is natural to send their own teams to participate in international competitions.

Northern Ireland was the Football Association of the British-occupied part of Ireland after independence. After independence, the Republic of Ireland had its own fully independent Football Association.

Britain is a country in the system of international law. Because of its contribution to international football in the early days of FIFA's existence, FIFA made a compromise commitment to allow it to join FIFA in the form of four football associations (FA), namely England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

As a result, since then, the UK has signed up for all international competitions with four football associations (FAs), naturally four participating teams.

Each of the four kingdoms has its own football association.

To sum up, I was too arrogant at the beginning! I thought that continental football was not enough to play....Two words: arrogance!

Because England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales were historically independent administrative regions, and the United Kingdom (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), which was later established, is a federation, and in modern times they each have their own football associations, and the World Cup is for the World Football Association's various football associations, so they can have 4 teams to participate. If you play as a team, you should have a similar result as England, because those three teams don't contribute much.

China also has 4 teams, but the probability of winning the World Cup is still.

That's right, the name was changed to Team Britannia...

Before there was the World Cup, these four regions had their own FAs. Now if you want to merge, even if FIFA agrees, the problems between the four FAs cannot be coordinated. In short, I don't think there's hope.

You see, there has never been a British team at the Olympics, because there is no concept of Britain in football. However, in the next Olympic Games, the Olympic Organizing Committee specially approved the four FAs to form a team. Host, give me some privileges.

Historical legacies.

So to speak, Lithuania.

Georgia. Estonia.

Latvian Armenia:

Ukraine, Belarus.

Moldova. Azerbaijan Uzbekistan.

Kyrgyzstan.

Tajikistan.

Turkmenistan.

Kazakhstan.

Russia can form the Soviet team.

Just kidding.

Because it's Great Britain, it's also called the empire on which the sun never sets.
