The need for a single body to oversee association football became evident in the early twentieth century with the growing fame of international matches. FIFA was founded in Paris on 21 May 1904; the French name and acronym continue even outside the French-speaking nations. The founding members were the national organizations of Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Furthermore, on the same day, the German Association expressed its interest in joining via telegram. The first president of FIFA was Robert Guérin. Guérin was supplanted in 1906 by the Englishman Daniel Burley Woolfall, a member of the association. The first competition organized by FIFA was the football championship for the 1908 London Olympics, which was more prosperous than its Olympic predecessors, despite the proximity of experienced footballers, in contrast to the standards set by FIFA. FIFA membership extended beyond Europe with the provision of South Africa in 1908, Argentina and Chile in 1912, and Canada and the United States in 1913. During World War I, with numerous players sent to war and the probability of participating in global matches seriously limited, the survival of the association was therefore in uncertainty. After the war, Woolfall died and the Dutchman Carl Hirschmann became responsible for the organization. It was spared from annihilation, but at the expense of the withdrawal of the Home Nations (of the United Kingdom), who cited reluctance to take part in international tournaments with their latest World War enemies. The Home Nations subsequently continued to join. The FIFA collection is held at the National Football Museum, England.
