The European Amputee Football Federation (EAFF) is the administrative body for amputee football in Europe representing the national amputee football associations.
The European Amputee Football Federation was established by ten countries in its inaugural congress held in Dublin, Ireland in February 2015. The initial member countries were England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Republic of Ireland, Russia, Spain, Turkey and Ukraine. Belgium, Georgia and the Netherlands joined the federation later. Mateusz Widłak from Poland was elected as its first president,[1] and Simon Baker from Ireland the Secretary General.[2] The same year, the EAFF gained the support of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) within its portfolio "Football for All Abilities".[1]
Backed by the UEFA, the EAFF has set up projects including amputee and limb impaired children's football and conferences for coaches and referees. It is envisioned that the amputee football will be recognized as part of the Paralympic Games.[1]
The second European championship will be played in Krakow from September 12 -19 (2021)
