IFAF doesn't make sense. In English it's still the same. Federation of International Football Associations

International Federation of Association Football?

IFAB, International Football Association Board, maintains the "laws of the game", the official set of rules.

So you can write either Association Football or Football Association.

Yeah that's why the sport is also called soccer. Take the soc out of association and add a er sound onto the end.

OH, well. TIL :-)

But anyway it's the federation of all assocations and not of "the sport"?!

Well no, because it's a federation (group) of national football associations. Together it's an international one.
