Association football is the official name of the sport governed by the International Federation of Association football (FIFA). It is known in some parts of the world as "soccer"; a derivative of the word "association". In others, it is known simply as "football". For more information on the sport, see association football. For information about all sports known as football, see football. For information about usage of the words "football" and "soccer" by country, see football (word).

For that other sport played in the U.S., see ((Americanfootball-stub)).

This category was created with the idea that there are many die-hard association football fans who would be interested in finding articles to work on, but who do not want to wade through the huge list of regular stubs and bio stubs.
