Who We Are

The single unified voice of more than 800 European football clubs — men’s and women’s, of all shapes and sizes — from 55 countries and territories across Europe. Our goal is to promote and protect the interests of our members and ensure the stability and growth of European club football. Since our formation in 2008, we have prioritised improving access to European and international competitions for clubs and creating opportunities for them to thrive. At the heart of what we do are the principles of the football pyramid — to ensure revenues, benefits and development opportunities are shared fairly by all clubs and their communities — and unity, so that the interests of clubs are reflected in how the game is governed. Through long-term strategic partnerships with UEFA and FIFA, we champion the interests of clubs on the regional and global stages. We promote sporting integrity and the development of men’s and women’s club competitions; deliver world-class events that bring clubs and industry leaders together; and provide benefits that support the growth of all our members, on and off the pitch. We also champion football as a force for good, with our EFC Foundation driving charitable programmes to support the communities our clubs represent.
