It is one of six continental confederations of world football's governing bodyFIFA. UEFA consists of fifty-four national associationsmembers. UEFA represents the national football associations of Europe, runs nation and club competitions including theUEFA European Championship,UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, andUEFA Super Cup, and controls the prize money, regulations and media rights to those competitions. UEFA was founded on 15 June 1954 inBaselafter consultation between the Italian, French, and Belgian associations. Initially, the European football union consisted of 25 members which number doubled by the early 1990s. UEFA membership coincides for the most part with recognition as a sovereign country in Europe, although there some exceptions. Some micro states, (e.g. the Vatican City) are not members. Some UEFA members are not sovereign states, but form part of a larger recognised sovereign state in the context of international law. Examples include England, (part of the United Kingdom) or the Faroe Islands, (part of Denmark) however in the context of these countries government functions concerning sport tend to be carried at the territorial level coterminous with the UEFA member entity. Some UEFA members are transcontinental states, (e.g. Turkey). Several Asian countries were also admitted to the European football association, particularly Israel and Kazakhstan, which had been members of the Asian football association. Additionally some UEFA member associations allow teams from outside their association's main territory to take part in their"domestic"competition, Monaco for example take part in the French League, (in a different sovereign entity) and Berwick participate in the Scottish League, (whilst in the same sovereign entity, the United Kingdom, Berwick is located in England and not Scotland). Until 1959 the main headquarters were located inParis, and later inBern. Since 1995, UEFA headquarters transferred toNyon, Switzerland.Henri Delaunaywas the first General Secretary andEbbe Schwartzthe firstpresident. The current president isMichel Platini.

List of FIFA World Cup finals: Founded1930 Region International (FIFA) Number of teams204 (qualifiers) 32 (finals) Current champions Spain (1st title) Most successful team(s) Brazil(5 titles) TheFIFAWorldCupis an internationalassociation footballcompetition established in 1930. It is contested by themen's national teamsof the members ofFédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The tournament has taken place every four years, except in 1942 and 1946, when the competition was cancelled due to WorldWar II. Themost recentWorldCup, hosted by South Africa in 2010, was won by Spain, who beat theNetherlands1–0 after extra time. ThenextWorldCupis scheduled to be held in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014.[1] TheWorldCupfinal matches are the last of the competition, and the results determine which country's team is declaredworldchampions. If after 90 minutes of regular play the score is a draw, an additional 30-minute period of play, calledextra time, is added. If such a game is still tied after extra time it is decided by kicks from the penalty mark, commonly called a penalty shootout. The winning penalty shoot-out team are then declared champions.[2]The tournament has been decided by a one-off match on every occasion except 1950, when the tournament winner was decided by a final round-robin group contested by four teams (Uruguay, Brazil, Sweden, and Spain). Uruguay's 2–1 victory over Brazil was the decisive match (and one of the last two matches of the tournament) which put them ahead on points and ensured that they finished top of the group asworldchampions. Therefore, this match is regarded byFIFAas the de facto final of the 1950WorldCup.[3] In the 19 tournaments held, 76 nations haveappeared at least once. Of these, twelve have made it to the final match, and eight have won.[n 1]With five titles,Brazilis the most successfulWorldCupteam and also the only nation to haveparticipated in everyWorldCupfinals tournament.[5]Italyhave four titles andGermanyhave three. The other former champions areUruguay, who won the inaugural tournament, andArgentina, with two titles each, andEnglandandFrance, who have each won one. The current champions,Spain, took their first title in2010.[6]

শেখ মুজিবুর রহমান (পর্ব ৮ ও শেষ পর্ব): অনেক ইতিহাসবিদ মুজিবকে বিদ্রোহে মদদদাতা নেতা হিসেবে চিহ্নিত করেছেন এবং তাঁদের মতে তিনি জাতীয়তাবাদী আন্দোলনকে প্ররোচিত করলেও রাষ্ট্র পরিচালনায় অদক্ষ হিসেবে উল্লেখ করেন। [২০]বাংলাদেশের নেতা হিসেবে শাসনকালে, মুসলিম ধর্মীয় নেতারা মুজিবের তীব্র সমালোচনা করেন তাঁর ধর্মনিরপেক্ষতার নীতির কারণে। ভারতীয় সরকারের কাছ থেকে ব্যাপক সহযোগিতা গ্রহণ এবং গুরুত্বপূর্ণ আঞ্চলিক ও পররাষ্ট্রনীতিতে ভারতের সাথে একাত্মতার কারণে অনেকে মুজিবের উপর অসন্তুষ্ট হয়ে ওঠেন। সমালোচকদের অনেকে আশঙ্কা করেন বাংলাদেশ ভারতের উপর অতিমাত্রায় নির্ভরশীল হয়ে একটি স্যাটেলাইট রাষ্ট্রে পরিণত হবে। [১৬]মুজিবের একদলের শাসন এবং রাজনৈতিক প্রতিপক্ষদের দমন জনগণের একটি বড় অংশের অসন্তোষের কারণ হয়ে দাঁড়ায় এবং বাংলাদেশের বহুদলীয় গণতান্ত্রের চর্চাকে দীর্ঘসময়ের জন্য কক্ষচ্যুত করে। [১৬] ১৯৯৬ সালে পুনরায় ক্ষমতায় যাওয়ার পূর্বে মুজিবের মৃত্যুর পরবর্তী সরকারগুলোর মুজিব বিরোধীতার কারণে তাঁর সম্পর্কে জনমনে নেতিবাচক ভাবমূর্তি তৈরি হয়। তাঁর ভাবমূর্তি আবার ফিরে আসে ১৯৯৬ সালে আওয়ামী লীগ নির্বাচিত হয়ে ফিরে আসার পর। ১৫ আগস্টকে জাতীয় শোক দিবসহিসেবে পালন করা হয়। তিনি এখনো আওয়ামী লীগের আদর্শগত প্রতীক হয়ে আছেন এবং দলটি মুজিবের সমাজতান্ত্রিক ভাবধারা ধারণ করে চলেছে। মুজিব বাংলাদেশ, ভারত ও বিশ্বের বাঙালি বুদ্ধিজীবিদের কাছে ব্যাপকভাবে সমাদৃত। পাকিস্তানের সামরিক শাসনের বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন এবং পাকিস্তানের গোষ্ঠীগত বৈষম্যের বিরুদ্ধে প্রতিবাদ ও বাঙালিদের আন্দোলনকে স্বাধীনতার পথে ধাবিত করার জন্য তিনি ব্যাপকভাবে প্রশংসিত। [২৬] ২০০৪ সালে বিবিসি'র বাংলা রেডিও সার্ভিসের পক্ষ থেকে সারা বিশ্বে যে জরিপ চালানো হয়, তাতে মুজিব সর্বকালের সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ বাঙালি হিসেবে বিবেচিত হন।
