Greece Amputee Football Association

The Greece Amputee Football Association (, ) is the Greek governing body of amputee football and represents Greece at international events and competitions. In February 2016, Amputee Football Greece became the 14th member of the European Amputee Football Federation (EAFF).

History Establishment, first official game and competition In June 2016, Greece made its debut in the EAFF Amputee Football Weeks project, reflecting the nation’s commitment to promoting amputee football and supporting athletes with disabilities. The project took place in Corinth and featured the following players: Alexandros Theodoridis, Dimitris Vouvopoulos, Tasos Tsigas, Georgios Lazaridis, Vasilis Mpakogiannis, Nikolaos Papakyrgiakis, Ioannis Vasiadis, Dimitris Agrianitis, and Nikolaos Papaggelis. An informal training match against AEK Futsal in Pallini marked the inaugural game of the newly established team. On January 8, 2017, the national team participated in a charity tournament against teams representing the Olympiacos academy staff and the Greek national homeless team. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about poverty while helping provide food for homeless communities. Greece played its first official friendly match on June 9, 2017, losing 0–5 to England. Later that month, on June 24, Greece participated in the Amputee Football Cup. The team faced Japan and Poland on the opening day of the tournament and France the following day, losing all three matches.

Consecutive European competition participations and first trophy Greece made its first appearance at the European Championship on October 3, 2017. On October 21, 2018, the national team achieved a major milestone by winning its first trophy at a friendly tournament held in Bruges, Belgium. To promote the sport, members of the Greece 2004 legends team played an exhibition match against the Greek amputee national team in July 2021. Greece competed in the 2021 European Amputee Football Championship, finishing in tenth place. In January 2022, the team received the Gazzetta Fair Play Award after earning 55,273 online votes from fans. In October 2023, Greece finished fourth in the EAFF Nations League Division C and qualified for Euro 2024 in France. At the 2024 European Amputee Football Championship, Greece advanced to the knockout stage after finishing third in its group with one win and two defeats. In the placement matches, the team lost to Azerbaijan and Israel but defeated Georgia to finish fifteenth overall. To mark its tenth anniversary, the UEFA Foundation for Children, with support from the Kaizen Foundation, organized a special match between two amputee teams featuring players from England, Greece, and Poland on April 28, 2025. The match took place at Colovray Sports Centre in Nyon ahead of the UEFA Youth League final between Barcelona and Trabzonspor.
