The French Football Federation (FFF) (French: Fédération Française de Football; FFF) is the governing body of football in France. It organises the French football league, the Ligue 1, and the men's and women's national teams. It was a founding member UEFA and is based in the city of Paris.
The FFF was formed after the transformation in 1919 of 1907 — the CFI (Comité Français Interfédéral) into the Fédération française de football association (FFFA). Its legal status is placed under the French Association loi de 1901 juridiction (Voluntary association). The FFF has been affiliated to FIFA since 1907, when the CFI succeeded the Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques as France's representative.
In 2006, [1], this federation had 2,143,688 licensees, including 1,850,836 players. It unveiled its new crest (above right) in 2007.
The new jersey for the 2008–09 season is a modern version of France's previous jersey worn during their 1998 FIFA World Cup championship.
