Final resting place of the father of modern football in an abandoned graveyard and a suggestion that he should be honoured for his achievement by being moved to Westminster Abbey to be amongst other British people who have contributed to influencing the world.
The Football Association has today announced that its search to find living descendants of the eight men that created the sport 150 years ago has been hugely successful, uncovering relatives in places such as Washington DC (USA), Chicago (USA), Auckland (New Zealand), Rossendale (Lancashire, UK) as well as London.
A total of 16 relatives of the Founding Fathers of football will attend a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on the 21st October where a Blue Plaque will be unveiled that pays tribute to the historical significance of their work in creating a game that is now enjoyed by billions of people around the world. The event is the start of a week of celebrations for The FA's 150th birthday, which will culminate in a Gala Dinner on the anniversary date itself this Saturday (26 October).
Hailing from across England, surprisingly little was known about Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Arthur Pember, Charles William Alcock, Francis Maule Campbell, John Forster Alcock, Herbert Thomas Steward, George Twizell Wawn and James Turner -- the men that gathered to form The FA and draft the original 13 laws of association football.
From that point, football has grown imeasureably and The FA now helps to support seven million people playing the game at grassroots level across the country, right the way through to the elite level.
Following a four month search led by cultural historian Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, and with the help of the general public, living descendants for six of the founding fathers have been identified.
Jane Sleight, the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Pember, and Tom Steward, a relation of Herbert Thomas Steward, are the two relatives living furthest from where The FA was formed in 1863, hailing from Washington DC, USA, and Auckland, New Zealand, respectively.
In the UK, it was discovered that the family tree of Arthur Pember also crossed with that of another figure of huge historical and cultural significance, Charles Darwin. In 1925, Pember's great-niece married Charles Galton Darwin, the grandson of Charles Darwin and thus the current Darwin dynasty is also related to one of football's Founding Fathers.
A number of George Twizell Wawn's family have been located in Rossendale, Lancashire and Oxford whilst John Forster Alcock and Francis Maule Campbell have descendants living in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Peterborough.
Following the research it has been discovered that the family tree of Ebenezer Cobb Morley ended upon his death in 1924 as neither he, nor his siblings, had any children. The search for information on James Turner and further descendants for the other six Founding Fathers continues with The FA and Dr. Jane Clayton investigating leads across the UK as well as in Japan, Denmark and Canada.
Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, said:
"For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago.
"The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world."
Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said:
"In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important.
"The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley."
Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said:
"The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

The original FA minute book has officially gone on display at the British Library in central London.
Compiled in 1863 and valued at £2.5m, the book forms the centrepiece of the British Library's first-ever football display.
Handwritten and compiled 150 years ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the book contains the 13 original laws of football -- and goes on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery alongside some of the world's most significant books including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare's First Folio and Captain Scott's diary.
The FA formed on 26th October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in London with the aim of creating a single set of regulations for playing the game.
It is the most significant book in the history of football, now played and watched by billions across the world.
Speaking about the decision to put the minute book on display, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said: "The importance of the 1863 FA minute book cannot be underestimated.
"Without it, quite simply, the world would be without its most popular sport so it is fitting that the book is going on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery at the British Library.
"This not only reflects how football has become interwoven into the fabric of our society, it also offers the public a glimpse into the origins of the nation's favourite game."

As a year of celebration draws to an end, The Football Association has today released an Ode to Football to commemorate its 150th anniversary. The poem talks of the nation's love for the game, from a grassroots through to elite level and captures the emotions experienced by football fans around the country.
The poem is being released in the week that marks 150 years since the first game was played using the laws drafted by Ebenezer Cobb Morley in 1863.
Entitled 'This is Football', Ode to Football was commissioned by The FA and written by poet, author and sportswriter Musa Okwonga. A host of famous faces have shown their support by appearing in a video of the ode. Led by England captain Steven Gerrard, the video also features other notable football names including Arsene Wenger, Theo Walcott and Sky Sports' Jim White. Celebrity football fans Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal, Amanda Holden, Nick Grimshaw and John Bishop have also delivered lines of the poem.
The video also features footage from The National Football Museum's film, 'Our Beautiful Game', the full version of which can be seen by visitors to the Museum's new galleries in Manchester.
With nods to legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and the iconic Match of the Day theme tune, taking home your team's laundry and playing online tournaments, the ode features all the aspects of the game that players and fans experience week in, week out. The poem also brings to life the battles fought on the pitch, the fans cheering and waving scarves, and that moment a goal is scored. England legends Sir Geoff Hurst and Paul Gascoigne are the focus of specific lines.

La FIIFA,uno de los Organismos Iternacionales más importantes del mundo,su importancia va mucho más allá de los futbolistico.
Y cómo no,los judíos dentro del tinglado desde el inicio.En este caso con Ebenezer Cobb Morley.
Ebenezer Cobb Morley nació en casco en 1831. Se trasladó a Londres , donde trabajó como abogado. Él era un gran deportista y estableció Barnes Football Club en 1858.
Morley se convirtió en capitán del club y en 1863 escribió una carta al periódico La vida de Bell proponer un organismo rector del fútbol. Esta carta dio lugar a una reunión que tendrá lugar en la Freemason's Tavern en Londres en octubre de 1863. Los clubes representados en la reunión incluyeron Barnes, Blackheath, Perceval House, Kensington School, el Ministerio de la Guerra, Crystal Palace, Bosque (más tarde conocido como los Wanderers ), los cruzados y No Nombres de Kilburn. Charterhouse también envió un observador a la reunión.
La Asociación de Fútbol se fundó en esta reunión. El objetivo de la FA fue establecer un único código unificador para el fútbol.
originalmente esta taberna -vinculada al mundo de la masonería londinense, específicamente a la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra, por entonces la organización masónica más importante del mundo-, se hallaba desde 1775 en Great Queen Street, precisamente donde se llevó acabó el encuentro fundacional, hoy la Freemasons Arm, que sustituyó a la Freemasons Tavern, se ubica en Long Acre 81-82, a pocos metros del anterior edificio, que fue consumido por un incendio en la década del 30.
El fútbol es un negocio mafioso masivo.
La FIFA dispone de un presupesto SUPERIOR al de un país
como Francia, y espolea el proceso de liberalización económica del fútbol.
Adidas, Nike, Puma y Umbro inundan el planeta con sus mercancías-fetiche: botas, camisetas, balones, fabricados en las zonas más empobrecidas del mundo, por obreros sobreexplotados.
Una camiseta deportiva, que cuesta en España unos 75 euros, equivale a tres meses de sueldo de un niño-trabajador de la India.
De manera muy parecida al Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones de Fútbol es obscenamente rica, extremadamente poderosa y está dirigida como un club hiperexclusivo.
La FIFA se fundó en 1904. Sólo 310 personas trabajan en la sede en Zúrich. Y sólo unos 1.000 trabajan en los asombrosos 208 países miembros ("sólo" 192 naciones son miembros de la ONU, que emplea a más de 40.000).
Los 24 miembros del consejo de la FIFA --a los que paga unos 50.000 dólares al mes-- pasan su precioso tiempo viajando por el mundo y haciendo tratos con Estados-naciones y corporaciones. De un modo muy similar al FMI, la rotación de personal es mínima. (a pesar de que el FMI nos pide una "flexibilidad" absoluta en nuestro mileurista trabajo.
La mayoría de los empleados de la FIFA han ocupado sus puestos durante más de 15 años.
La FIFA es responsable de la comercialización de cada producto vinculado al fútbol profesional, el patrocinio y los derechos de la televisión. Está en el epicentro de un mercado de 250.000 millones de dólares.
SIMBÓLISMO JUDEOMASONICO CABALISTA Y "SATÁNICO" DE FÚTBOL
-La final del último mundial fue el 11 j, fecha ritual , 101 es número masón ritual. Habrá un eclipse. El anterio ritual olímpico fue el 2012
- La cancha es un rectángulo del culto negro a Saturno.
- En la presentación y clausura hay simbolos o vevés -simbolos- de vudú como el corazón.
-waka, waka, cantado por Shakira era un mantra negativo de vudú.
-Las porterías son rectángulos del culto a Saturno
-El árbitro va vestido de negro, del culto a Saturno.

Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend.
Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups.
The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going.
At the elite level, The FA runs 25 England teams, across men's, women's, youth and disability football, utilising the world-class facilities of Wembley Stadium and St. George's Park.
Birthday celebrations began earlier this week with a ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Monday to mark the successful search for living descendants of the eight Founding Fathers of Football without whom football as we know, love and play it today, would not exist.
Relatives travelled from as far afield as New Zealand and the United States to take part in a ceremony honouring their ancestors.
And today a plaque unveiling was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- site of The FA's founding in 1863.
FA Chairman Greg Dyke and General Secretary Alex Horne took part in the ceremony, which means there is finally a permanent record of the birthplace of the world's most popular sport.
Dyke said: "Finally, the home of football is being marked. It was important to recognise the past and what the Founding Fathers of football did and what has been achieved.
"When you come to London and you're a football fan, this might well now become one of the places on the map to visit.
"You go to Wembley...you might go to Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham and then you come here -- because this is where it all started."
On Saturday night, in central London, a Gala Dinner will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- the location of the Freemasons' Tavern that staged the very first FA meeting on 26 October 1863, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge, The FA President, the chief guest.
To read the official message from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the President of The FA, click here.
Taking centre stage at the dinner will be the original 1863 FA Minute Book, which is currently on display at the British Library until 19 December.
Valued at £2.5m, the book contains the handwritten13 original laws of football penned a century and a half ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, The FA's first secretary.
Alongside Dyke and Horne, guests will also include, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and a trio of FIFA World Cup winners in George Cohen, Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst.
The FA Board and FA Council will also be in attendance, along with guests from around the world highlighting that football is the only true global game.

The FA today kicks-off a nationwide search to find any living descendants of football's 'Founding Fathers'.
Hailing from across the country, surprisingly little is known about the eight trail-blazers who gathered on 26 October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern in London to draft the 13 original laws of association football.
From humble beginnings The FA is now in its 150th anniversary year, helping to support 7m people playing the game at grassroots level through to the elite level of 24 England teams.
And The FA have now called upon the public to come forward with any information on the eight men who established the world's most popular sport 150 years ago.
The Founding Fathers of football are Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), Arthur Pember (1835-1886), Charles William Alcock (1842-1907), Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920), John Forster Alcock (1841-1910), Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915), George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) and James Turner.
Any living descendants that can be identified and located will be invited to a special ceremony at Wembley to honour their ancestors in October.
England Manager Roy Hodgson will be at the event and said: "We should all recognise, not only the sporting contribution that these men have made, but the impact that football has had in this country and around the world.
"Football is part of the fabric of our society and without the vision of these eight men 150 years ago, it may not have come to exist. It is only right that we honour the founding fathers of this nation's favourite game."
And England goalkeeper Joe Hart is in agreement with his Manager, adding: "It is important we honour those that did so much for football. Whatever your background, everyone can play football. You just need a ball and a place to play and it is pretty much the same now as it was 150 years ago.
"I had a chance to hold the priceless original minute book when The FA launched its anniversary year and it was pretty special to see the laws of the game as they were first written."
Jane Clayton, cultural historian from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire is leading the search.
She added: "This is an important historical search, we know so much about people who were pioneers in their chosen fields but surprisingly, little is known about the individuals responsible for gifting us the most popular sport in the world.
"We have initiated the historical search and whilst information is limited, we have a good base upon which to work so we are confident that through genealogical research and the public's help, we can trace some of the living descendants of the founding fathers of football."

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport.
On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game.
In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings.
The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand.
Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives."
One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President.
He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world."
Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred.
He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

Ebenezer Cobb Morley
Ebenezer Cobb Morley (16 August 1831 – 20 November 1924) was an English sportsman and is regarded as the father of the Football Association and modern football.
Morley was born at 10 Garden Square, Princess Street in Hull and lived in the city until he was 22. He moved to Barnes in 1858 forming the Barnes Club, a founding member of the FA, in 1862. In 1863, as captain of the Mortlake-based club, he wrote to Bell's Life newspaper proposing a governing body for the sport, that led to the first meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern, that created the FA.
He was the FA's first secretary (1863–1866) and its second president (1867–1874) and drafted the first Laws of the Game at his home in Barnes. As a player, he played in the first ever match, against Richmond in 1863, and scored in the first representative match, between the clubs of London and Sheffield on 31 March 1866.
A solicitor by profession, Morley was a keen oarsman, founding the Barnes and Mortlake Regatta for which he was also secretary (1862–1880). He served on Surrey County Council for Barnes (1903–1919) and was a Justice of the Peace. Morley is buried in Barnes Cemetery, a now abandoned graveyard on Barnes Common, Barnes. He had no children.

Arthur Pember
Arthur Pember (1835 – 3 April 1886) was a British sportsman, journalist and author, notable for being the first president of The Football Association, from 1863 to 1867, as a member of N.N. Club or N.N. Kilburn, one of the founder clubs of the FA.
Biography
Arthur Pember was one of the founders of association football, having been elected as the president of The Football Association at the meeting where the organisation was founded in October 1863. He had attended on behalf of N.N. Club (also known as N.N. Kilburn). He was a highly educated Victorian with a knowledge of literature, science, current affairs, etc.
He also had a career as a New York journalist just after the American Civil War. The most interesting fact was his undercover investigations and his involvement with the most prominent editors of the day. He worked for the press in the early days of investigative journalism, when the New York Times exposed severe malpractices in Government including Boss Tweed of the Tammany Ring. Pember's investigations generally had a large degree of humour and an element of danger, as he uncovered the truth behind American and Victorian society, meeting on one hand street beggars and on the other the leading industrialists of the day. He was also an author who wrote a significant book referred to by reformers of the time.

1:41The Football Association's Founding Fathers
The Football Association's Founding FathersThe Football Association's Founding Fathers
The Football Association has today announced that its search to find living descendants of the eight men that created the sport 150 years ago has been hugely successful, uncovering relatives in places such as Washington DC (USA), Chicago (USA), Auckland (New Zealand), Rossendale (Lancashire, UK) as well as London. A total of 16 relatives of the Founding Fathers of football will attend a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on the 21st October where a Blue Plaque will be unveiled that pays tribute to the historical significance of their work in creating a game that is now enjoyed by billions of people around the world. The event is the start of a week of celebrations for The FA's 150th birthday, which will culminate in a Gala Dinner on the anniversary date itself this Saturday (26 October). Hailing from across England, surprisingly little was known about Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Arthur Pember, Charles William Alcock, Francis Maule Campbell, John Forster Alcock, Herbert Thomas Steward, George Twizell Wawn and James Turner -- the men that gathered to form The FA and draft the original 13 laws of association football. From that point, football has grown imeasureably and The FA now helps to support seven million people playing the game at grassroots level across the country, right the way through to the elite level. Following a four month search led by cultural historian Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, and with the help of the general public, living descendants for six of the founding fathers have been identified. Jane Sleight, the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Pember, and Tom Steward, a relation of Herbert Thomas Steward, are the two relatives living furthest from where The FA was formed in 1863, hailing from Washington DC, USA, and Auckland, New Zealand, respectively. In the UK, it was discovered that the family tree of Arthur Pember also crossed with that of another figure of huge historical and cultural significance, Charles Darwin. In 1925, Pember's great-niece married Charles Galton Darwin, the grandson of Charles Darwin and thus the current Darwin dynasty is also related to one of football's Founding Fathers. A number of George Twizell Wawn's family have been located in Rossendale, Lancashire and Oxford whilst John Forster Alcock and Francis Maule Campbell have descendants living in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Peterborough. Following the research it has been discovered that the family tree of Ebenezer Cobb Morley ended upon his death in 1924 as neither he, nor his siblings, had any children. The search for information on James Turner and further descendants for the other six Founding Fathers continues with The FA and Dr. Jane Clayton investigating leads across the UK as well as in Japan, Denmark and Canada. Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, said: "For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago. "The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world." Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said: "In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important. "The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley." Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said: "The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

The original football rule book from 1863 unveiled @ the British LibraryThe original football rule book from 1863 unveiled @ the British Library
The original FA minute book has officially gone on display at the British Library in central London. Compiled in 1863 and valued at £2.5m, the book forms the centrepiece of the British Library's first-ever football display. Handwritten and compiled 150 years ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the book contains the 13 original laws of football -- and goes on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery alongside some of the world's most significant books including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare's First Folio and Captain Scott's diary. The FA formed on 26th October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in London with the aim of creating a single set of regulations for playing the game. It is the most significant book in the history of football, now played and watched by billions across the world. Speaking about the decision to put the minute book on display, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said: "The importance of the 1863 FA minute book cannot be underestimated. "Without it, quite simply, the world would be without its most popular sport so it is fitting that the book is going on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery at the British Library. "This not only reflects how football has become interwoven into the fabric of our society, it also offers the public a glimpse into the origins of the nation's favourite game."

As a year of celebration draws to an end, The Football Association has today released an Ode to Football to commemorate its 150th anniversary. The poem talks of the nation's love for the game, from a grassroots through to elite level and captures the emotions experienced by football fans around the country. The poem is being released in the week that marks 150 years since the first game was played using the laws drafted by Ebenezer Cobb Morley in 1863. Entitled 'This is Football', Ode to Football was commissioned by The FA and written by poet, author and sportswriter Musa Okwonga. A host of famous faces have shown their support by appearing in a video of the ode. Led by England captain Steven Gerrard, the video also features other notable football names including Arsene Wenger, Theo Walcott and Sky Sports' Jim White. Celebrity football fans Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal, Amanda Holden, Nick Grimshaw and John Bishop have also delivered lines of the poem. The video also features footage from The National Football Museum's film, 'Our Beautiful Game', the full version of which can be seen by visitors to the Museum's new galleries in Manchester. With nods to legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and the iconic Match of the Day theme tune, taking home your team's laundry and playing online tournaments, the ode features all the aspects of the game that players and fans experience week in, week out. The poem also brings to life the battles fought on the pitch, the fans cheering and waving scarves, and that moment a goal is scored. England legends Sir Geoff Hurst and Paul Gascoigne are the focus of specific lines.

Vídeo original del usuario laverdadmata La FIIFA,uno de los Organismos Iternacionales más importantes del mundo,su importancia va mucho más allá de los futbolistico. Y cómo no,los judíos dentro del tinglado desde el inicio.En este caso con Ebenezer Cobb Morley. Ebenezer Cobb Morley nació en casco en 1831. Se trasladó a Londres , donde trabajó como abogado. Él era un gran deportista y estableció Barnes Football Club en 1858. Morley se convirtió en capitán del club y en 1863 escribió una carta al periódico La vida de Bell proponer un organismo rector del fútbol. Esta carta dio lugar a una reunión que tendrá lugar en la Freemason's Tavern en Londres en octubre de 1863. Los clubes representados en la reunión incluyeron Barnes, Blackheath, Perceval House, Kensington School, el Ministerio de la Guerra, Crystal Palace, Bosque (más tarde conocido como los Wanderers ), los cruzados y No Nombres de Kilburn. Charterhouse también envió un observador a la reunión. La Asociación de Fútbol se fundó en esta reunión. El objetivo de la FA fue establecer un único código unificador para el fútbol. originalmente esta taberna -vinculada al mundo de la masonería londinense, específicamente a la Gran Logia Unida de Inglaterra, por entonces la organización masónica más importante del mundo-, se hallaba desde 1775 en Great Queen Street, precisamente donde se llevó acabó el encuentro fundacional, hoy la Freemasons Arm, que sustituyó a la Freemasons Tavern, se ubica en Long Acre 81-82, a pocos metros del anterior edificio, que fue consumido por un incendio en la década del 30. El fútbol es un negocio mafioso masivo. La FIFA dispone de un presupesto SUPERIOR al de un país como Francia, y espolea el proceso de liberalización económica del fútbol. Adidas, Nike, Puma y Umbro inundan el planeta con sus mercancías-fetiche: botas, camisetas, balones, fabricados en las zonas más empobrecidas del mundo, por obreros sobreexplotados. Una camiseta deportiva, que cuesta en España unos 75 euros, equivale a tres meses de sueldo de un niño-trabajador de la India. De manera muy parecida al Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones de Fútbol es obscenamente rica, extremadamente poderosa y está dirigida como un club hiperexclusivo. La FIFA se fundó en 1904. Sólo 310 personas trabajan en la sede en Zúrich. Y sólo unos 1.000 trabajan en los asombrosos 208 países miembros ("sólo" 192 naciones son miembros de la ONU, que emplea a más de 40.000). Los 24 miembros del consejo de la FIFA --a los que paga unos 50.000 dólares al mes-- pasan su precioso tiempo viajando por el mundo y haciendo tratos con Estados-naciones y corporaciones. De un modo muy similar al FMI, la rotación de personal es mínima. (a pesar de que el FMI nos pide una "flexibilidad" absoluta en nuestro mileurista trabajo. La mayoría de los empleados de la FIFA han ocupado sus puestos durante más de 15 años. La FIFA es responsable de la comercialización de cada producto vinculado al fútbol profesional, el patrocinio y los derechos de la televisión. Está en el epicentro de un mercado de 250.000 millones de dólares.

Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend. Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups. The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month. The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going. At the elite level, The FA runs 25 England teams, across men's, women's, youth and disability football, utilising the world-class facilities of Wembley Stadium and St. George's Park. Birthday celebrations began earlier this week with a ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Monday to mark the successful search for living descendants of the eight Founding Fathers of Football without whom football as we know, love and play it today, would not exist. Relatives travelled from as far afield as New Zealand and the United States to take part in a ceremony honouring their ancestors. And today a plaque unveiling was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- site of The FA's founding in 1863. FA Chairman Greg Dyke and General Secretary Alex Horne took part in the ceremony, which means there is finally a permanent record of the birthplace of the world's most popular sport. Dyke said: "Finally, the home of football is being marked. It was important to recognise the past and what the Founding Fathers of football did and what has been achieved. "When you come to London and you're a football fan, this might well now become one of the places on the map to visit. "You go to Wembley...you might go to Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham and then you come here -- because this is where it all started." On Saturday night, in central London, a Gala Dinner will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- the location of the Freemasons' Tavern that staged the very first FA meeting on 26 October 1863, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge, The FA President, the chief guest. To read the official message from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the President of The FA, click here. Taking centre stage at the dinner will be the original 1863 FA Minute Book, which is currently on display at the British Library until 19 December. Valued at £2.5m, the book contains the handwritten13 original laws of football penned a century and a half ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, The FA's first secretary. Alongside Dyke and Horne, guests will also include, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and a trio of FIFA World Cup winners in George Cohen, Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst. The FA Board and FA Council will also be in attendance, along with guests from around the world highlighting that football is the only true global game. -

Could you be a distance relative to the original 8 men who wrote the initial minute book back in 1863? To find out more visit http://www.thefa.com/News/2013/apr/find-the-founding-fathers-300413.aspx The FA today kicks-off a nationwide search to find any living descendants of football's 'Founding Fathers'. Hailing from across the country, surprisingly little is known about the eight trail-blazers who gathered on 26 October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern in London to draft the 13 original laws of association football. From humble beginnings The FA is now in its 150th anniversary year, helping to support 7m people playing the game at grassroots level through to the elite level of 24 England teams. And The FA have now called upon the public to come forward with any information on the eight men who established the world's most popular sport 150 years ago. The Founding Fathers of football are Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), Arthur Pember (1835-1886), Charles William Alcock (1842-1907), Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920), John Forster Alcock (1841-1910), Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915), George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) and James Turner. Any living descendants that can be identified and located will be invited to a special ceremony at Wembley to honour their ancestors in October. England Manager Roy Hodgson will be at the event and said: "We should all recognise, not only the sporting contribution that these men have made, but the impact that football has had in this country and around the world. "Football is part of the fabric of our society and without the vision of these eight men 150 years ago, it may not have come to exist. It is only right that we honour the founding fathers of this nation's favourite game." And England goalkeeper Joe Hart is in agreement with his Manager, adding: "It is important we honour those that did so much for football. Whatever your background, everyone can play football. You just need a ball and a place to play and it is pretty much the same now as it was 150 years ago. "I had a chance to hold the priceless original minute book when The FA launched its anniversary year and it was pretty special to see the laws of the game as they were first written." Jane Clayton, cultural historian from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire is leading the search. She added: "This is an important historical search, we know so much about people who were pioneers in their chosen fields but surprisingly, little is known about the individuals responsible for gifting us the most popular sport in the world. "We have initiated the historical search and whilst information is limited, we have a good base upon which to work so we are confident that through genealogical research and the public's help, we can trace some of the living descendants of the founding fathers of football." -

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport. On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game. In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings. The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand. Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives." One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President. He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world." Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred. He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

The Football Association has today announced that its search to find living descendants of the eight men that created the sport 150 years ago has been hugely successful, uncovering relatives in places such as Washington DC (USA), Chicago (USA), Auckland (New Zealand), Rossendale (Lancashire, UK) as well as London.
A total of 16 relatives of the Founding Fathers of football will attend a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on the 21st October where a Blue Plaque will be unveiled that pays tribute to the historical significance of their work in creating a game that is now enjoyed by billions of people around the world. The event is the start of a week of celebrations for The FA's 150th birthday, which will culminate in a Gala Dinner on the anniversary date itself this Saturday (26 October).
Hailing from across England, surprisingly little was known about Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Arthur Pember, Charles William Alcock, Francis Maule Campbell, John Forster Alcock, Herbert Thomas Steward, George Twizell Wawn and James Turner -- the men that gathered to form The FA and draft the original 13 laws of association football.
From that point, football has grown imeasureably and The FA now helps to support seven million people playing the game at grassroots level across the country, right the way through to the elite level.
Following a four month search led by cultural historian Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, and with the help of the general public, living descendants for six of the founding fathers have been identified.
Jane Sleight, the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Pember, and Tom Steward, a relation of Herbert Thomas Steward, are the two relatives living furthest from where The FA was formed in 1863, hailing from Washington DC, USA, and Auckland, New Zealand, respectively.
In the UK, it was discovered that the family tree of Arthur Pember also crossed with that of another figure of huge historical and cultural significance, Charles Darwin. In 1925, Pember's great-niece married Charles Galton Darwin, the grandson of Charles Darwin and thus the current Darwin dynasty is also related to one of football's Founding Fathers.
A number of George Twizell Wawn's family have been located in Rossendale, Lancashire and Oxford whilst John Forster Alcock and Francis Maule Campbell have descendants living in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Peterborough.
Following the research it has been discovered that the family tree of Ebenezer Cobb Morley ended upon his death in 1924 as neither he, nor his siblings, had any children. The search for information on James Turner and further descendants for the other six Founding Fathers continues with The FA and Dr. Jane Clayton investigating leads across the UK as well as in Japan, Denmark and Canada.
Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, said:
"For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago.
"The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world."
Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said:
"In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important.
"The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley."
Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said:
"The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

"The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

The original FA minute book has officially gone on display at the British Library in central London.
Compiled in 1863 and valued at £2.5m, the book forms the centrepiece of the British Library's first-ever football display.
Handwritten and compiled 150 years ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the book contains the 13 original laws of football -- and goes on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery alongside some of the world's most significant books including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare's First Folio and Captain Scott's diary.
The FA formed on 26th October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in London with the aim of creating a single set of regulations for playing the game.
It is the most significant book in the history of football, now played and watched by billions across the world.
Speaking about the decision to put the minute book on display, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said: "The importance of the 1863 FA minute book cannot be underestimated.
"Without it, quite simply, the world would be without its most popular sport so it is fitting that the book is going on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery at the British Library.
"This not only reflects how football has become interwoven into the fabric of our society, it also offers the public a glimpse into the origins of the nation's favourite game."

As a year of celebration draws to an end, The Football Association has today released an Ode to Football to commemorate its 150th anniversary. The poem talks of the nation's love for the game, from a grassroots through to elite level and captures the emotions experienced by football fans around the country.
The poem is being released in the week that marks 150 years since the first game was played using the laws drafted by Ebenezer Cobb Morley in 1863.
Entitled 'This is Football', Ode to Football was commissioned by The FA and written by poet, author and sportswriter Musa Okwonga. A host of famous faces have shown their support by appearing in a video of the ode. Led by England captain Steven Gerrard, the video also features other notable football names including Arsene Wenger, Theo Walcott and Sky Sports' Jim White. Celebrity football fans Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal, Amanda Holden, Nick Grimshaw and John Bishop have also delivered lines of the poem.
The video also features footage from The National Football Museum's film, 'Our Beautiful Game', the full version of which can be seen by visitors to the Museum's new galleries in Manchester.
With nods to legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and the iconic Match of the Day theme tune, taking home your team's laundry and playing online tournaments, the ode features all the aspects of the game that players and fans experience week in, week out. The poem also brings to life the battles fought on the pitch, the fans cheering and waving scarves, and that moment a goal is scored. England legends Sir Geoff Hurst and Paul Gascoigne are the focus of specific lines.

Morley se convirtió en capitán del club y en 1863 escribió una carta al periódico La vida de Bell proponer un organismo rector del fútbol. Esta carta dio lugar a una reunión que tendrá lugar en la Freemason's Tavern en Londres en octubre de 1863.

Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend.
Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups.
The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going.
At the elite level, The FA runs 25 England teams, across men's, women's, youth and disability football, utilising the world-class facilities of Wembley Stadium and St. George's Park.
Birthday celebrations began earlier this week with a ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Monday to mark the successful search for living descendants of the eight Founding Fathers of Football without whom football as we know, love and play it today, would not exist.
Relatives travelled from as far afield as New Zealand and the United States to take part in a ceremony honouring their ancestors.
And today a plaque unveiling was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- site of The FA's founding in 1863.
FA Chairman Greg Dyke and General Secretary Alex Horne took part in the ceremony, which means there is finally a permanent record of the birthplace of the world's most popular sport.
Dyke said: "Finally, the home of football is being marked. It was important to recognise the past and what the Founding Fathers of football did and what has been achieved.
"When you come to London and you're a football fan, this might well now become one of the places on the map to visit.
"You go to Wembley...you might go to Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham and then you come here -- because this is where it all started."
On Saturday night, in central London, a Gala Dinner will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- the location of the Freemasons' Tavern that staged the very first FA meeting on 26 October 1863, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge, The FA President, the chief guest.
To read the official message from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the President of The FA, click here.
Taking centre stage at the dinner will be the original 1863 FA Minute Book, which is currently on display at the British Library until 19 December.
Valued at £2.5m, the book contains the handwritten13 original laws of football penned a century and a half ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, The FA's first secretary.
Alongside Dyke and Horne, guests will also include, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and a trio of FIFA World Cup winners in George Cohen, Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst.
The FA Board and FA Council will also be in attendance, along with guests from around the world highlighting that football is the only true global game.

The FA today kicks-off a nationwide search to find any living descendants of football's 'Founding Fathers'.
Hailing from across the country, surprisingly little is known about the eight trail-blazers who gathered on 26 October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern in London to draft the 13 original laws of association football.
From humble beginnings The FA is now in its 150th anniversary year, helping to support 7m people playing the game at grassroots level through to the elite level of 24 England teams.
And The FA have now called upon the public to come forward with any information on the eight men who established the world's most popular sport 150 years ago.
The Founding Fathers of football are Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), Arthur Pember (1835-1886), Charles William Alcock (1842-1907), Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920), John Forster Alcock (1841-1910), Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915), George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) and James Turner.
Any living descendants that can be identified and located will be invited to a special ceremony at Wembley to honour their ancestors in October.
England Manager Roy Hodgson will be at the event and said: "We should all recognise, not only the sporting contribution that these men have made, but the impact that football has had in this country and around the world.
"Football is part of the fabric of our society and without the vision of these eight men 150 years ago, it may not have come to exist. It is only right that we honour the founding fathers of this nation's favourite game."
And England goalkeeper Joe Hart is in agreement with his Manager, adding: "It is important we honour those that did so much for football. Whatever your background, everyone can play football. You just need a ball and a place to play and it is pretty much the same now as it was 150 years ago.
"I had a chance to hold the priceless original minute book when The FA launched its anniversary year and it was pretty special to see the laws of the game as they were first written."
Jane Clayton, cultural historian from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire is leading the search.
She added: "This is an important historical search, we know so much about people who were pioneers in their chosen fields but surprisingly, little is known about the individuals responsible for gifting us the most popular sport in the world.
"We have initiated the historical search and whilst information is limited, we have a good base upon which to work so we are confident that through genealogical research and the public's help, we can trace some of the living descendants of the founding fathers of football."

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport.
On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game.
In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings.
The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand.
Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives."
One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President.
He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world."
Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred.
He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport.
On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game.
In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings.
The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand.
Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives."
One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President.
He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world."
Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred.
He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

Greg Dyke unveils FA 150 plaque at birthplace of English football
Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend. Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups. The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month. The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going.

Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend.
Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups.
The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going.
At the elite level, The FA runs 25 England teams, across men's, women's, youth and disability football, utilising the world-class facilities of Wembley Stadium and St. George's Park.
Birthday celebrations began earlier this week with a ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Monday to mark the successful search for living descendants of the eight Founding Fathers of Football without whom football as we know, love and play it today, would not exist.
Relatives travelled from as far afield as New Zealand and the United States to take part in a ceremony honouring their ancestors.
And today a plaque unveiling was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- site of The FA's founding in 1863.
FA Chairman Greg Dyke and General Secretary Alex Horne took part in the ceremony, which means there is finally a permanent record of the birthplace of the world's most popular sport.
Dyke said: "Finally, the home of football is being marked. It was important to recognise the past and what the Founding Fathers of football did and what has been achieved.
"When you come to London and you're a football fan, this might well now become one of the places on the map to visit.
"You go to Wembley...you might go to Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham and then you come here -- because this is where it all started."
On Saturday night, in central London, a Gala Dinner will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- the location of the Freemasons' Tavern that staged the very first FA meeting on 26 October 1863, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge, The FA President, the chief guest.
To read the official message from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the President of The FA, click here.
Taking centre stage at the dinner will be the original 1863 FA Minute Book, which is currently on display at the British Library until 19 December.
Valued at £2.5m, the book contains the handwritten13 original laws of football penned a century and a half ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, The FA's first secretary.
Alongside Dyke and Horne, guests will also include, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and a trio of FIFA World Cup winners in George Cohen, Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst.
The FA Board and FA Council will also be in attendance, along with guests from around the world highlighting that football is the only true global game.

Hailing from across the country, surprisingly little is known about the eight trail-blazers who gathered on 26 October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern in London to draft the 13 original laws of association football.
From humble beginnings The FA is now in its 150th anniversary year, helping to support 7m people playing the game at grassroots level through to the elite level of 24 England teams.
And The FA have now called upon the public to come forward with any information on the eight men who established the world's most popular sport 150 years ago.
The Founding Fathers of football are Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), Arthur Pember (1835-1886), Charles William Alcock (1842-1907), Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920), John Forster Alcock (1841-1910), Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915), George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) and James Turner.
Any living descendants that can be identified and located will be invited to a special ceremony at Wembley to honour their ancestors in October.
England Manager Roy Hodgson will be at the event and said: "We should all recognise, not only the sporting contribution that these men have made, but the impact that football has had in this country and around the world.
"Football is part of the fabric of our society and without the vision of these eight men 150 years ago, it may not have come to exist. It is only right that we honour the founding fathers of this nation's favourite game."
And England goalkeeper Joe Hart is in agreement with his Manager, adding: "It is important we honour those that did so much for football. Whatever your background, everyone can play football. You just need a ball and a place to play and it is pretty much the same now as it was 150 years ago.
"I had a chance to hold the priceless original minute book when The FA launched its anniversary year and it was pretty special to see the laws of the game as they were first written."
Jane Clayton, cultural historian from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire is leading the search.
She added: "This is an important historical search, we know so much about people who were pioneers in their chosen fields but surprisingly, little is known about the individuals responsible for gifting us the most popular sport in the world.
"We have initiated the historical search and whilst information is limited, we have a good base upon which to work so we are confident that through genealogical research and the public's help, we can trace some of the living descendants of the founding fathers of football."

The Football Association has today announced that its search to find living descendants of the eight men that created the sport 150 years ago has been hugely successful, uncovering relatives in places such as Washington DC (USA), Chicago (USA), Auckland (New Zealand), Rossendale (Lancashire, UK) as well as London.
A total of 16 relatives of the Founding Fathers of football will attend a special ceremony at Wembley Stadium on the 21st October where a Blue Plaque will be unveiled that pays tribute to the historical significance of their work in creating a game that is now enjoyed by billions of people around the world. The event is the start of a week of celebrations for The FA's 150th birthday, which will culminate in a Gala Dinner on the anniversary date itself this Saturday (26 October).
Hailing from across England, surprisingly little was known about Ebenezer Cobb Morley, Arthur Pember, Charles William Alcock, Francis Maule Campbell, John Forster Alcock, Herbert Thomas Steward, George Twizell Wawn and James Turner -- the men that gathered to form The FA and draft the original 13 laws of association football.
From that point, football has grown imeasureably and The FA now helps to support seven million people playing the game at grassroots level across the country, right the way through to the elite level.
Following a four month search led by cultural historian Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, and with the help of the general public, living descendants for six of the founding fathers have been identified.
Jane Sleight, the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Pember, and Tom Steward, a relation of Herbert Thomas Steward, are the two relatives living furthest from where The FA was formed in 1863, hailing from Washington DC, USA, and Auckland, New Zealand, respectively.
In the UK, it was discovered that the family tree of Arthur Pember also crossed with that of another figure of huge historical and cultural significance, Charles Darwin. In 1925, Pember's great-niece married Charles Galton Darwin, the grandson of Charles Darwin and thus the current Darwin dynasty is also related to one of football's Founding Fathers.
A number of George Twizell Wawn's family have been located in Rossendale, Lancashire and Oxford whilst John Forster Alcock and Francis Maule Campbell have descendants living in London, Cambridge, Oxford and Peterborough.
Following the research it has been discovered that the family tree of Ebenezer Cobb Morley ended upon his death in 1924 as neither he, nor his siblings, had any children. The search for information on James Turner and further descendants for the other six Founding Fathers continues with The FA and Dr. Jane Clayton investigating leads across the UK as well as in Japan, Denmark and Canada.
Dr. Jane Clayton from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, said:
"For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago.
"The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world."
Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said:
"In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important.
"The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley."
Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said:
"The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

"For the search to have been so successful is incredibly pleasing as, from a historical perspective, we now know a lot more about a number of the men that created the most popular sport in the world one hundred and fifty years ago.
"The research carried out to date has been extensive but the work continues in the hope of discovering more descendants across the world."
Alex Horne, General Secretaty of The FA, said:
"In terms of historical significance, the eight Founding Fathers of football should be placed alongside other great pioneers of this nation. The game has become a focal point of the lives of nearly every household in England since it was formed, so to now understand more about the history of these men is incredibly important.
"The FA is delighted that in its 150th year we have been able to identify living descendants and honour their forefathers at what is now the home of English football, Wembley."
Broadcaster Mike Read, Honorary Chairman of The British Plaque Trust, and a lifelong Bury FC fan has been in discussion with The FA about the commemoration for several months. He said:
"The Founding Fathers of football helped give the world a sport which down the generations has inspired many billions. We wanted to ensure that the momentous moment was marked in the appropriate manner."

The original FA minute book has officially gone on display at the British Library in central London.
Compiled in 1863 and valued at £2.5m, the book forms the centrepiece of the British Library's first-ever football display.
Handwritten and compiled 150 years ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the book contains the 13 original laws of football -- and goes on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery alongside some of the world's most significant books including the Magna Carta, Shakespeare's First Folio and Captain Scott's diary.
The FA formed on 26th October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in London with the aim of creating a single set of regulations for playing the game.
It is the most significant book in the history of football, now played and watched by billions across the world.
Speaking about the decision to put the minute book on display, FA Chairman Greg Dyke said: "The importance of the 1863 FA minute book cannot be underestimated.
"Without it, quite simply, the world would be without its most popular sport so it is fitting that the book is going on display in the Sir John Ritblat Treasures Gallery at the British Library.
"This not only reflects how football has become interwoven into the fabric of our society, it also offers the public a glimpse into the origins of the nation's favourite game."

As a year of celebration draws to an end, The Football Association has today released an Ode to Football to commemorate its 150th anniversary. The poem talks of the nation's love for the game, from a grassroots through to elite level and captures the emotions experienced by football fans around the country.
The poem is being released in the week that marks 150 years since the first game was played using the laws drafted by Ebenezer Cobb Morley in 1863.
Entitled 'This is Football', Ode to Football was commissioned by The FA and written by poet, author and sportswriter Musa Okwonga. A host of famous faces have shown their support by appearing in a video of the ode. Led by England captain Steven Gerrard, the video also features other notable football names including Arsene Wenger, Theo Walcott and Sky Sports' Jim White. Celebrity football fans Ant and Dec, Dizzee Rascal, Amanda Holden, Nick Grimshaw and John Bishop have also delivered lines of the poem.
The video also features footage from The National Football Museum's film, 'Our Beautiful Game', the full version of which can be seen by visitors to the Museum's new galleries in Manchester.
With nods to legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and the iconic Match of the Day theme tune, taking home your team's laundry and playing online tournaments, the ode features all the aspects of the game that players and fans experience week in, week out. The poem also brings to life the battles fought on the pitch, the fans cheering and waving scarves, and that moment a goal is scored. England legends Sir Geoff Hurst and Paul Gascoigne are the focus of specific lines.

Ebenezer Cobb Morley nació en casco en 1831. Se trasladó a Londres , donde trabajó como abogado. Él era un gran deportista y estableció Barnes Football Club en 1858.
Morley se convirtió en capitán del club y en 1863 escribió una carta al periódico La vida de Bell proponer un organismo rector del fútbol. Esta carta dio lugar a una reunión que tendrá lugar en la Freemason's Tavern en Londres en octubre de 1863.

Clubs up and down the country are set to support The Football Association's 150th birthday celebrations this weekend.
Teams at every level are honouring the landmark day with a host of activities, including players wearing special FA150 t-shirts during pre-match warm-ups.
The anniversary comes after a packed programme of events across the year including a nationwide Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day in August and a celebration of 150 grassroots heroes at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
The FA has used its 150th anniversary to shine a light on the national game and specifically the seven million players of all ages, 400,000 volunteers, 300,000 coaches and 27,000 qualified referees who all help keep the grassroots going.
At the elite level, The FA runs 25 England teams, across men's, women's, youth and disability football, utilising the world-class facilities of Wembley Stadium and St. George's Park.
Birthday celebrations began earlier this week with a ceremony at Wembley Stadium on Monday to mark the successful search for living descendants of the eight Founding Fathers of Football without whom football as we know, love and play it today, would not exist.
Relatives travelled from as far afield as New Zealand and the United States to take part in a ceremony honouring their ancestors.
And today a plaque unveiling was held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- site of The FA's founding in 1863.
FA Chairman Greg Dyke and General Secretary Alex Horne took part in the ceremony, which means there is finally a permanent record of the birthplace of the world's most popular sport.
Dyke said: "Finally, the home of football is being marked. It was important to recognise the past and what the Founding Fathers of football did and what has been achieved.
"When you come to London and you're a football fan, this might well now become one of the places on the map to visit.
"You go to Wembley...you might go to Arsenal or Chelsea or Tottenham and then you come here -- because this is where it all started."
On Saturday night, in central London, a Gala Dinner will be held at the Grand Connaught Rooms -- the location of the Freemasons' Tavern that staged the very first FA meeting on 26 October 1863, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge, The FA President, the chief guest.
To read the official message from HRH The Duke of Cambridge, the President of The FA, click here.
Taking centre stage at the dinner will be the original 1863 FA Minute Book, which is currently on display at the British Library until 19 December.
Valued at £2.5m, the book contains the handwritten13 original laws of football penned a century and a half ago by Ebenezer Cobb Morley, The FA's first secretary.
Alongside Dyke and Horne, guests will also include, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter, UEFA President Michel Platini and a trio of FIFA World Cup winners in George Cohen, Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst.
The FA Board and FA Council will also be in attendance, along with guests from around the world highlighting that football is the only true global game.

The FA today kicks-off a nationwide search to find any living descendants of football's 'Founding Fathers'.
Hailing from across the country, surprisingly little is known about the eight trail-blazers who gathered on 26 October 1863 in the Freemasons' Tavern in London to draft the 13 original laws of association football.
From humble beginnings The FA is now in its 150th anniversary year, helping to support 7m people playing the game at grassroots level through to the elite level of 24 England teams.
And The FA have now called upon the public to come forward with any information on the eight men who established the world's most popular sport 150 years ago.
The Founding Fathers of football are Ebenezer Cobb Morley (1831-1924), Arthur Pember (1835-1886), Charles William Alcock (1842-1907), Francis Maule Campbell (1843-1920), John Forster Alcock (1841-1910), Herbert Thomas Steward (1839-1915), George Twizell Wawn (1840-1914) and James Turner.
Any living descendants that can be identified and located will be invited to a special ceremony at Wembley to honour their ancestors in October.
England Manager Roy Hodgson will be at the event and said: "We should all recognise, not only the sporting contribution that these men have made, but the impact that football has had in this country and around the world.
"Football is part of the fabric of our society and without the vision of these eight men 150 years ago, it may not have come to exist. It is only right that we honour the founding fathers of this nation's favourite game."
And England goalkeeper Joe Hart is in agreement with his Manager, adding: "It is important we honour those that did so much for football. Whatever your background, everyone can play football. You just need a ball and a place to play and it is pretty much the same now as it was 150 years ago.
"I had a chance to hold the priceless original minute book when The FA launched its anniversary year and it was pretty special to see the laws of the game as they were first written."
Jane Clayton, cultural historian from the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire is leading the search.
She added: "This is an important historical search, we know so much about people who were pioneers in their chosen fields but surprisingly, little is known about the individuals responsible for gifting us the most popular sport in the world.
"We have initiated the historical search and whilst information is limited, we have a good base upon which to work so we are confident that through genealogical research and the public's help, we can trace some of the living descendants of the founding fathers of football."

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport.
On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game.
In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings.
The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand.
Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives."
One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President.
He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world."
Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred.
He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

Descendants of The FA's Founding Fathers were invited to Wembley on Monday to mark the role their ancestors played in helping to shape the world's most popular sport.
On 26 October 1863 - 150 years ago this week - eight men met in The Freemasons' Tavern in Holborn, London, and formed 'The Football Association' and later codified the first Laws of the Game.
In this landmark year The FA set about finding relatives of the eight men and, with the help of cultural historian Dr Jane Clayton, they are delighted with the findings.
The descendants are spread all over the world, from London and Oxford to USA and New Zealand.
Dr Clayton told FATV: "I started with a list of surnames and a handful of initials and had to search through the original Minute Book from 1863, check we had the right people and then it was a case of trawling through heaps of information to come up with the names, the details, the jobs the Founding Fathers did and ultimately find their relatives."
One of those relatives is Neil Sleight from Chicago, the great-great-great grandson of Arthur Pember, The FA's first-ever President.
He said: "It's incredible - the simple rules [Pember] wrote so many years ago have transformed into something so big and loved by so many people around the world."
Auckland-born Tom Steward, the great-great-great nephew of Herbert Thomas Steward concurred.
He added: "It's a phenomena around the globe and I think [Herbert Thomas Steward] would be astounded at where it's gone to."

History of association football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, can be traced to as far back as the Medieval period in Britain (medieval football). The modern game of association football originates from the formation of The Football Association in London, England in 1863 based on multiple efforts to standardize the varying forms of the game. This allowed clubs to play each other without dispute and which specifically banned handling of the ball and hacking during open field play. After the fifth meeting of the association a division emerged between association football and the rules played by the Rugby school, later to be called rugby football). At the time, football clubs had played by their own, individual codes and game-day rules had usually to be agreed upon before a match could comm...
