  ABSTRACT: The focus of this article is to show FIFA’s participation as an actor in international relations through its governance actions. FIFA is a transnational private entity that governs one of the most famous and lucrative sports: football. First, we intend to demonstrate that FIFA acts globally through its governance mechanism. Second, we try to understand its actions from a broader perspective of global governance and international power struggle among national states. After that, we explore the following dilemmas: 1) although FIFA’s affiliates (the local football confederations) are also private entities, its teams are seen as official national representatives; 2) some non-sovereign nations have FIFA’s recognition as members. Finally, we analyze some contradictions in FIFA’s governance mechanism.
