FIFA's headquarters is located in Zurich, Switzerland. This has been the home of football's governing body since its founding. The other cities listed (Rome, Paris, Dubai) are not correct.

Mani Shankar Aiyar made this controversial statement before the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, expressing his opposition to the event. He was criticized for these remarks given India was hosting the games.

The points winner (green jersey/sprint specialist) is least likely to be the overall winner because sprinters typically lose significant time in mountain stages and time trials. Since the 1990s, pure sprinters rarely compete for the overall classification. Other options - young rider, King of Mountains, and combativity award winners - all frequently compete for overall victory.

The statement is false because FIFA stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association (French), not 'Federation International Football Association' (missing the 'de' in the French original and using English word order). The French 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association' is the official name.

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) has its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. It was founded there in 1904 and remains based in Zurich. The city houses the main administrative offices of world football's governing body.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is India's national cricket governing body. It uses the 'board of control' format unique to India. 'Cricket India' and 'Indian cricket' are not official names, and the word order in option D is incorrect.

New Zealand Cricket is the official governing body for cricket in New Zealand, responsible for administering the sport nationally. It was founded in 1890 and is a full member of the ICC. The other options are incorrect names that don't match the official organization.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) is the official governing body for cricket in South Africa, formed in 1991 after the end of apartheid. It oversees all cricket administration in the country. The other options are incorrect names that don't match the official organization.

Sri Lanka Cricket is the official governing body for cricket in Sri Lanka, responsible for administering the sport domestically and internationally. The other options either use incorrect terminology (like 'association' or 'union') or are non-existent entities. The organization's official name is simply 'Sri Lanka Cricket' which functions as the cricket board.

Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) was the governing body for Zimbabwe cricket until 2004, when it was reorganized and renamed as Zimbabwe Cricket. The options show different variations, but ZCU was the official name during that era. The other options are variations that didn't exist as official names.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was established in 1927 and was officially recognized by the IOC in the same year. This was well before India's independence in 1947. The IOA has been responsible for sending Indian teams to the Olympics since 1928, when India made its debut in Amsterdam. The years 1956 and 1964 are significant for other Olympic milestones but not for the IOA's founding.
