[1] The USFSA only managed amateur sports, so not boxing or cycling, which had the Union Vélocipédique de France (UVF).
[1] The CFI, on the lookout, rushed to take the vacated place, thus becoming France's sole federation recognized by FIFA.
The USFSA later developed friction with FIFA and the IOC, which led to disorganization, and in 1913, it was forced to take the humiliating step of applying for admission to the CFI, becoming semi-affiliated with it.
On 15 June 1915, Charles Simon passed away while on duty, and Henri Delaunay took over his responsibilities at the FGSPF and the CFI.
[7][8] The CFI was officially renamed the French Football Federation (FFF)[9] on 7 April 1919, with Jules Rimet as president and Henri Delaunay as general secretary.
