Portuguese District Football Associations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are twenty-two district Football Associations in Portugal. These organizations are the governing bodies (alongside the Portuguese Football Federation) of football in each Portuguese district.

While the three district in which the Azores were divided pre-autonomy were abolished, the district football associations haven't merged, and still exist as separate entities.
