Football Supporters Europe (FSE) is a football fan network formally established as a non-profit member association[1] and claiming to have members from more than 48 UEFA member countries.[2] Founded in July 2008 at the first European Football Fans Congress, it is considered as a legitimate partner for fan issues by institutions like the UEFA,[3][4] the Council of Europe[5] or European Professional Football Leagues.[6]
