The Football Association of Finland (Suomen Palloliitto ry), commonly known internationally as the Football Association of Finland (FAF), is the national governing body responsible for football and futsal in Finland. Founded in 1907, the association is headquartered in Helsinki and operates as a nonprofit national sports organisation. It is a member of both FIFA and UEFA and is responsible for overseeing, regulating and developing football and futsal throughout Finland. Its registered office is at Urheilukatu 5, Helsinki. The association's responsibilities cover a broad football ecosystem rather than only the national teams. It coordinates national competitions, supports clubs and regional football organisations, develops coaches and referees, administers player registration and promotes football participation at grassroots and elite levels. The association's current strategy for 2025–2028 focuses on four major objectives: making football Finland's most popular sport, developing players toward international standards, achieving success with national teams at major tournaments and ensuring that everyone can remain involved in football. Finnish football is organised through a substantial national network. The Football Association of Finland currently reports 868 member clubs and more than 167,000 registered players. Its activities encompass men's and women's football, youth football, futsal and the national teams representing Finland in international competitions. The association also works to improve coaching competence, playing environments and the quality of club operations, identifying these areas as important factors in the continued development of Finnish football. The national governing body also has a major role in communications, digital services and football education. Its official platforms provide competition information, player and club administration services, coaching resources, news and national-team content. The association launched its official YouTube channel in 2020 to provide content ranging from national-team coverage and training material to grassroots football and futsal. The organisation maintains a professional staff structure covering sporting operations, competitions, communications, marketing, development, administration, integrity and compliance, among other functions. Its LinkedIn profile currently lists the organisation as a nonprofit spectator-sports body with 51–200 employees and headquarters in Helsinki. As Finland's national football authority, the Football Association of Finland therefore serves as the central organisation connecting the country's clubs, players, coaches, referees, competitions and national teams, while working to strengthen both participation and high-performance football.
