It was the ‘idea’ of the FIFA vice president at the time, the Italian FA & English FA, but was organised by the ‘Fairs Cup Committee’, not FIFA itself. As I stated it was not recognised by UEFA until it had evolved and later rebranded.The Fairs Cup was a FIFA competition.

‘While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is generally considered to be the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, it was not organised by UEFA and ran under different regulations; consequently, the confederation does not consider clubs' records in the Fairs Cup to be part of their European honours/record.’
