Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF), or Portuguese Football Federation, is the national governing body for football in Portugal and one of Europe's longest-established football associations. The federation was founded on 31 March 1914 by the football associations of Lisbon, Portalegre and Porto, originally under the name União Portuguesa de Futebol. It adopted the name Federação Portuguesa de Futebol in 1926. UEFA identifies the FPF as a founder member of UEFA in 1954, while FIFA confirms that the federation has been a FIFA member since 1923.  The FPF is constituted as a private-law, non-profit association with public-benefit status. Its membership structure encompasses Portugal's district and regional football associations, the professional club league, clubs and sports companies, players, coaches, referees and other football stakeholders. Its principal responsibilities include representing Portuguese football nationally and internationally, managing Portugal's national teams, organising football competitions and promoting the development of the sport through education and training programmes.  The federation manages national teams across men's and women's football, futsal and beach soccer. According to its current LinkedIn profile, the FPF manages 29 national teams and organises 59 competitions, reflecting its extensive role across the Portuguese football ecosystem. The organisation also supports the development of players, coaches, referees and other technical and administrative personnel through structured education and development programmes.  The FPF is closely associated with Portugal's international football success. FIFA records Portugal's senior men's national team as European champions in 2016, while the federation's national-team structure has also achieved major success in youth football, women's football, futsal and beach soccer. Portugal's men's national team has qualified for every FIFA World Cup since 2002, demonstrating the country's sustained position among Europe's leading football nations.  The federation's headquarters are located at Cidade do Futebol on Avenida das Seleções in Cruz Quebrada-Dafundo, in the municipality of Oeiras, within the Lisbon metropolitan area. The FPF's official contact page confirms the address and telephone number, while UEFA's European Football Directory independently lists the same headquarters and identifies Lisbon as the location associated with the federation.  Beyond national-team management, the FPF plays a central role in regulating and developing Portuguese football at every level. Its responsibilities include competition organisation, registration, club licensing, referee development, coaching education, grassroots football and football infrastructure. The federation's Cidade do Futebol headquarters serves as an institutional and technical centre for Portuguese football, reinforcing the FPF's role as the country's principal football authority
