The Chinese Taipei Football Association was founded in 1924 as the China Football Association in the Republic of China and moved to Taiwan in 1949 after the end of the Chinese Civil War. After the original association had belonged to FIFA from 1932, it was accepted back into the world association as "Taiwan" in 1954, then the name "Republic of China" and finally, under pressure from the PRC, the name "Chinese Taipei".
