Frenchman Robert Guerin: was the dynamic figure behind the founding of FIFA in 1904. Was elected the FIFA president at the inaugural FIFA Congress On 22 May 1904.

Daniel Burley Woolfall: was elected as President on 4 June 1906. Woolfall’s presidency ended with his death in August 1918.

Jules Rimet: When the FIFA World Cup trophy was renamed in honour of Jules Rimet in 1946, it was rightful recognition of the role played by the Frenchman, then celebrating his 25 th anniversary as President, in establishing what fast became the sport’s foremost competition. Rimet, inspired by the success of the Olympic Football Tournament, was the driving force behind the FIFA World Cup’s inception in 1930. His overriding aim was a rapprochement of nations through sport and the First World War only reinforced his determination. He oversaw the first five tournaments before handing ‘his’ trophy over for the final time to West Germany captain Fritz Walter in June 1954. That same month, the then 80-year-old ended his long reign – during which FIFA membership grew from 20 to 85 countries – and became the federation’s first Honorary President.
