Each of the four British associations shall be recognised as a separate member association of FIFA.
II. Membership 11 6. An association in a region which has not yet gained independence may, with the authorisation of the member association in the country on which it is dependent, also apply for admission to FIFA. 7. This article shall not affect the status of existing member associations. 12 Request and procedure for application 1. The Council shall request the Congress either to admit or not to admit an association. The association may state the reasons for its application to the Congress. 2.
