UEFA – the Union of European Football Associations – is the game's governing body in Europe. It is a representative democracy, and is the umbrella organisation for 55 national football associations across Europe.

Our objectives are, among other things, to deal with all questions relating to European football, to promote football in a spirit of unity, solidarity, peace, understanding and fair play, without any discrimination on the basis of politics, race, religion, gender or any other reason, to safeguard the values of European football, to maintain relations with all stakeholders involved in European football, and to support and safeguard its member associations for the overall well-being of the European game.

We have a clear vision: a united European football family working together to improve enjoyment of the game.
