Mission & Interests
Goals: UEFA is the governing body for football in Europe with a membership comprising 55 national football associations across the entire continent, including all 27 Member States of the European Union. Our mission is to develop football at all levels, amateur and professional, and to deal with all questions relating to European football.
At EU level, we focus on how European football can support EU public policy priorities including e.g. climate action, equality for all and social inclusion. We work in partnership with the EU institutions to protect and promote the solidarity and values-based European sports model, including the open, meritocratic and pyramidical structure of European football.
