Football Supporters Europe (FSE) invites member organisations to apply to co-host the European Football Fans Congress (EFFC) in June 2027.
What is it?
The European Football Fans Congress (EFFC) has been an important forum for FSE members since 2008. The EFFC takes place every second year and is the biggest gathering of football fans of its kind. It is the only event where supporters can regularly exchange views with decision-makers and stakeholders in European football. It also features panels, workshops, and network meetings to discuss topics that are important for fans across Europe to have a say on the agenda of football.
The EFFC coincides with FSE’s Biennial General Meeting, which provides members with an opportunity to vote on and influence FSE’s aims, objectives, and policies, as well as to approve changes to the Constitution and elect members to the Board.
The last edition of EFFC was held in Malmö in 2025 co-hosted by MFF- Support.
Why host?
Co-hosting the EFFC allows member organisations to showcase their own activities and supporter culture by being at the heart of FSE’s pinnacle calendar event. It also allows our co-hosts to bring their own members and local stakeholders together, and to share how fans cooperate at a European level. We will provide support and guidance to the successful host, who will work side by side with FSE’s staff in the months leading up to the Congress itself.
