If you’ve ever watched a game of football, you know that the association of players known as FIFA has the power to discipline players who engage in serious foul play. In fact, FIFA has the authority to suspend players from the sport and impose fines and suspensions on them. These powers are obtained through association law, which binds players to abide by its rules and regulations. This indirect membership structure is used to enforce these regulations, and if a player injures another person or property due to foul play, it may be liable for a civil lawsuit.
