European Amputee Football Federation

The European Amputee Football Federation (EAFF) associates amputee football associations in Europe, with the mission to include and support people with amputations or limb defects, increase their access to amputee football opportunities, and use football to improve their quality of life. Established in 2015, the federation is growing continually reaching 18 members in 2022. The federation contributed to further dynamic development amputee football in Europe and spread football integration across the old continent. At present in Europe there are 1300 active amputee football players, including 160 juniors under 16 years old, a few female players and one national women team. Over 80 amputee football clubs enable players to play on a regular basis. In 2017 and 2021 the association organized EAFF European Championships with thousands of supporters attending the games. The EAFF’s main objectives are increasing the number of players/clubs/leagues/national teams/supporters in European countries and establishing and developing relationships between mainstream football stakeholders (UEFA, national FA’s, clubs, players) and amputee football.
