The International Center of Photography (ICP) is a prominent institution focused on photography and visual culture, founded in 1974 by photojournalist Cornell Capa. Located in New York Citys Lower East Side, ICP serves as a center for exhibitions, education, and public engagement, highlighting the significance of photography in contemporary society. ICP promotes "concerned photography," which emphasizes socially and politically driven imagery aimed at fostering global change. The center curates rotating exhibitions that showcase both historical and contemporary works, drawing from its extensive archives. It also offers educational programs, serving over 3,000 students annually through various courses and workshops in photography, filmmaking, and visual storytelling. Additionally, ICP engages the public through lectures, symposia, and community events that explore the societal role of photography. ICP targets students, artists, educators, and photography enthusiasts, providing tailored programs for aspiring professionals and lifelong learners. Its mission is to advance photography as a tool for social change and cultural dialogue, solidifying its position as a leader in visual arts education and exhibition.

Founded in 1904, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is the umbrella organisation of its members, currently 211 national football associations. Its main objectives, enshrined in its statutes, are to develop football around the world, to stage international competitions and to protect the integrity of football (against match manipulation, doping etc.). FIFA is composed of a number of political bodies (such as the FIFA Congress and the FIFA Council) and the administration. The highest political position is the FIFA President, elected every four years by FIFAs member associations. The FIFA administration, with more than 800 people from over 60 nations, is based in Zurich. It is run by the Secretary General (CEO). FIFA stages FIFA World Cups™ in various forms such as youth, mens and womens, futsal, beach soccer or club competitions. The mens FIFA World Cup™ is not only the most popular single sporting event in the world but also the financial backbone for FIFA and its efforts to develop football worldwide. The financial success of the FIFA World Cup™ allows FIFA to run a wide range of football development programmes and to provide funds, infrastructure and know-how to its member associations through the FIFA Forward Development Programme.
