Ivo Wolfgang Eduard Schricker (18 March 1877 – 10 January 1962) was a German footballer and the third General Secretary of the FIFA, serving from 1932 to 1951 upon his resignation.
He came from a middle-class background and played his youth football together with his younger brother Erwin with local team Straßburger FV.
[note Scorers 1][5][6] Following their time with Basel both returned to their club of origin Straßburger FV and later both again moved to Karlsruher Kickers.
He moved to Zürich in Switzerland, a central and conveniently located place that fitted FIFA needs well when a permanent office was set up.
Ivo Schricker became the organisation's first employee, and was appointed Permanent Secretary in 1931, working in a 30 square metre apartment at Bahnhofstrasse 77 that remained the home of football's governing body until 1954.
