The Futsal European Federation (FEF) is the international sporting association for futsal in Europe. It was founded in 2017 to replace UEFS. UEFS was found in 1988 in Madrid, then transferred to Moscow in Russia. UEFS was affiliated to the Asociación Mundial de Fútbol de Salón (AMF), and was the European governing body for futsal under the AMF until 2017. However UEFS was disaffiliated from AMF and FEF was established to replace UEFS, in 2017.
FEF organizes men's and women's tournaments for both national and club's teams in Europe.
