Introduction
The United European Football Institutes (UEFI) is an amateur football league for university students in Europe. It was founded in 2005 and currently has over 100 member institutions.
The UEFI season runs from September to May, with each team playing each other once. The top two teams at the end of the season qualify for the UEFI Cup, which is played in June.
The UEFI is a great way for university students to get involved in football and meet other students from across Europe. It is also a great opportunity to travel and experience different cultures.
History
The UEFI was founded in 2005 by a group of university students in the Netherlands. The first season was played with just six teams, but the league has since grown to over 100 members.
The UEFI Cup was first played in 2007. The current champions are the University of Amsterdam.
