The French Football Federation (FFF) (French: Fédération Française de Football) is the governing body of football in France. It organises the French football league, Championnats Nationaux, and the men's and women's national teams. It was a founding member of both FIFA and UEFA. It is based in Paris.

The FFF was formed after the transformation in 1919 of 1907-founded CFI (Comité français interfédéral) into the Fédération française de football association (FFFA). Its legal status is placed under the French Association loi de 1901 juridiction (Voluntary association). The FFF has been affiliated to FIFA since 1907, when the CFI succeeded to 1904 founding member USFSA (Union des sociétés françaises de sports athlétiques).

In 2006, [1], this federation had 2,143,688 licensees, including 1,850,836 players. It unveiled its new crest (above right) in 2007.

The new jersey for the 2008-09 season is a modern version of France's previous jersey worn during their 1998 World Cup championship.
