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.

This kind of competition was first dominated by Iberian teams: Portugal won in 1989 and 1990 – in 1991 was also world-beater – and Spain in 1992. Afterwards it was dominated by Eastern teams: Slovakia won in 1995, Russia in 1998 and Belarus in 2004. FEF organizes the events of AMF in Europe instead of UEFS since 2017.
