Soccer is the American name for the good game of football. To avoid confusion with American Football, they simply call it soccer. FIFA is the body that runs the game of football the world over. The governing body overseeing the rules of the game, the conduct of tournaments such as world cup etc. Cheers! Ram

Hi kamlesh let me clarify you what's the difference between soccer and FIFA.Soccer is the game played on a field which is generally rectangular in shape.There are eleven players in a team and two such teams compete against one another.The team who scores more goals,that is the team who can send the ball in the opponents net more is the eventual winners.There are referees who conduct the proceedings of the game.FIFA stands for the governing body thast regulates soccer all around the globe.It is an institution.Let me put it in this way..let's assume that you study in a school.There the books that you read can be treated to the game soccer and the institution where you study is similar to FIFA.You arole is similar to the players in the soccer field and the etachers are the referees.I think I have been able to make you understand the difference.

Hi kamlesh, Soccer (or football) is the game played with 11 players in a team. They have goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards. It was played in two half with 45 minutes each. While FIFA, is an organization that control the whole international football business. Every national team that want to play an international game was needed to register with FIFA and follow they rules that being layout by them.
