Biography

Ivo Schricker was son of a privy councilor in Strasbourg, which at that time belonged to the German Empire. He came from a middle-class background and played his youth football together with his younger brother Erwin with local team Straßburger FV. During the summer of 1894 both brothers moved as a high school students to Karlsruhe. Here they joined and played for Karlsruher FV, where they met Walter Bensemann, a pioneer of German and European football.[2]

During Basel's 1895–96 season both brothers played two games for FC Basel. The first game they played was the home game on 1 December 1895 as Basel played a 2–2 draw with FC Excelsior Zürich. Joan Gamper was team mate in that game.[3] The second game they played with Basel was on 8 March 1896 as Basel were defeated 3–1 by Grasshoppers.[4] Both Schricker's played only these two games for Basel, without scoring a goal.Template:Refn[5][6]

Following their time with Basel both returned to their club of origin Straßburger FV and later both again moved to Karlsruher Kickers. Erwin Schricker (22 August 1878 – 20 October 1914) was killed in action during World War One.[7]

While studying in Berlin Ivo Schricker played for Akademischer SC 1893 Berlin. With Karlsruher FV he became South German champion several times. In 1899[8] he was among the best players in the first, still unofficial, game against a team from England, and in September 1901, he also played in London.[9]

Schricker's home town, Strasbourg in Alsace, was after World War I annexed to France again. After retirement as player, Schricker served from 1923 to 1925 as president of the South German association (Süddeutscher Fußball-Verband).

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.[10] From 1948 onwards, he was supported by secretary Marta Kurmann.[11]
