Scandinavian Football Football is the most popular sport in Denmark and it's growing in popularity in Sweden. Jurgen Pedersen explains how these two small Nordic nations have managed to secure a place among the big names of international football One hundred years of Scandinavian football Do you play football in Scandinavia? I've been asked the question many times. Yes, generally speaking, it's true that the Nordic climate does not favour the practice of that sport. Think on the long, dark, cold Nordic winters. It's just simply too cold to play outside. The playing fields are completely frozen in winter, often covered by a thick layer of snow. Also, most parts of Scandinavia are scarsely populated and there may well be not enough people or just no-one around to play with! But it still would be wrong to think that everybody in Scandinavia is only playing ice hockey or going skiing. The fact is that football has actually a long tradition in Scandinavia, particularly in Denmark and in southern Sweden, where winters are relativery short and the land is more densely populated. The Dansk Boldspil-Union, (the Danish Football Association), founded in 1889, is one of the oldest in Europe. Denmark and Sweden were also two of the seven founding members nations of the FIFA (the international football federation) in the year 1904, exactly 100 years ago.

Home International Fixture List International Competitions ... Senior Team Statistics FAI History - 1921 - 1930 Although football was being played in Ireland since the 1860s, it was mainly based in Ulster and it was not until the 1880s that the game spread to other areas of the country. The first club outside Ulster was Dublin Association Football Club which was formed in 1883. At the time, the Irish Football Association (IFA) was the governing body. Based in Belfast, it found it difficult to promote football throughout the country. This led to the formation of the Leinster Football Association in 1892 as the game became more popular in the area. The matter reached crisis-point when later that year, the IFA reneged on a promise to play the IFA Cup final replay between Shelbourne and Glenavon in Dublin and scheduled the match for Belfast. Shelbourne refused to comply and forfeited the Cup. A meeting of southern associations and clubs was arranged and on June 1 1921, the Football Association of the Irish Free State (FAIFS) was formed in Molesworth Hall in Dublin. A Free State League was hastily organised, with eight teams taking part. Originally all eight teams were from Dublin, but Athlone became the first provincial club to join the league the following season. St. James's Gate won the first title, and they were also winners of the first FAI Cup, then called the Free State Cup, in 1922. The FAIFS had greater difficulty in arranging international fixtures.

Bob Beamon Avery Brundage Dick Button Cassius Clay ... 1980 U.S. Ice Hockey Team Bob Beamon Beamon set the Track and Field world on its ear at the 1968 Olympic long jump in Mexico City, when he jumped 29 feet, two-and-one-half inches to win the gold medal. Beamon's jump was a world record that eclipsed the previous record by 21 3/4 inches. The jump still stands as an Olympic record, and stood as a world record until Mike Powell leapt 29' 4 1/2" at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo. Avery Brundage Brundage spent most of his life as a dedicated supporter of the Olympic movement. In 1912, he competed in the Olympic decathlon and pentathlon with another U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame memberJim Thorpe. After moving out of the athletic arena, Brundage served as president of the U.S. Olympic Committee from 1932-52, and followed that with a stint as president of the International Olympic Committee from 1952-72. In 1972, Brundage became the first recipient of the IOC Gold Medal of the Olympic Order.
