Football Supporters Europe (FSE) and Supporters Direct Europe (SD Europe) can confirm both organisations have formally begun operating as one organisation on 1st October 2022, beginning a bright new era in football supporters’ representation in Europe. This milestone fulfills the democratic will of the members of FSE and SD Europe, who voted in favour of a merger between the organisations at their respective BGM and AGM in July 2022.
The merged organisation, which retains the name ‘Football Supporters Europe’, will see the marrying together of both organisation’s key priorities, including the protection of supporters’ fundamental rights, safeguarding the future of European football, anti-discrimination, fan ownership and heritage, fans’ embassies, development of the supporter liaison officer role, and campaigns such as Europe Wants To Stand and the Win It On The Pitch ECI petition.
