From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Ivo Schricker (18 March 1877 in Straßburg, Elsass - 10 January 1962) was a German footballer and official.
He, and his brother Erwin, played at Strassburger FK 1890, Karlsruher Kickers, FV Straßburg and, while studying in Berlin, Akademischer SC 1893 Berlin. With Karlsruher FV he became South German champion several times. In 1899 he was among the best players in the first - still unofficial - game against England.
After retirement as player, Schricker served from 1923 to 1925 as president of the South German association.
His home town, Straßburg in the Elsass, was after World War I annexed to France again. In 1932 Schricker was elected FIFA-General secretary, serving through World War II until December 1950.
