The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) is an organisation that records the history and records of association football. It was founded in 1984 by Alfredo Pöge in Leipzig. The IFFHS was originally based in Abu Dhabi, but moved to Bonn, Germany in 2010, and then in 2014 to Zürich.
The IFFHS has no affiliation with FIFA, but FIFA has cited awards and records done by the IFFHS on their website.
