Its offices are in Bilbao (in the Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga district).
The federation manages several leagues such as the Basque Youth League and the Basque Women's Football League, as well as the Basque regional stage of the Federation Cup. It also organises Group 4 of the regionalised Tercera División (the fourth tier of the men's Spanish football league system), although unlike most parts of the country, the leagues at the fifth level and below are administered separately by provincial federations for Álava, Biscay and Gipuzkoa.
The federation organises and selects the Basque Country national football team which draws its players not only from the Basque Country autonomous region, but also the neighbouring Basque regions of Navarre and the French Basque Country.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arostegui: 'Si queremos que nos tomen en serio, debemos ser serios'|url=http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2011/12/27/paisvasco/1325013623.html|work=El Mundo|date=27 December 2011|accessdate=1 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Roberto Torres, convocado por la selección vasca|url=http://www.noticiasdenavarra.com/2014/12/23/deportes/futbol/roberto-torres-convocado-por-la-seleccion-vasca-|work=Noticias de Navarra|date=23 December 2014|accessdate=8 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715025650/http://www.noticiasdenavarra.com/2014/12/23/deportes/futbol/roberto-torres-convocado-por-la-seleccion-vasca-|archive-date=15 July 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Un futbolista francés entra en la convocatoria de la selección vasca|url=http://www.libertaddigital.com/deportes/2011-12-22/un-futbolista-frances-entra-en-la-convocatoria-de-la-seleccion-vasca-de-futbol-1276445099/|work=Libertad digital|date=22 December 2011|accessdate=8 July 2015}}</ref> The women's senior national team also follows this model, but the various youth representative squads contesting nationwide competitions, and the Basque amateur-level selection playing in the Spanish stage of the UEFA Regions' Cup, are composed of players only from the Basque Country autonomous region.
The Basque Football Federation is part of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
== History== In the early 20th century, football federations were formed for each of the Basque regions of Biscay (1913, as the 'North Federation' with Cantabria) and Gipuzkoa (a 1918 offshoot), with each holding their own tournaments (the Biscay Championship and Gipuzkoa Championship respectively). As long ago as 1931 the idea of creating a single federation for the whole Basque Country was considered,<ref>{{cite web|title=Se pretende crear la Federacion Vasca|url=http://prensahistorica.mcu.es/es/catalogo_imagenes/grupo.cmd?interno=S&posicion=8&path=1000200377&presentacion=pagina|work=La Libertad|date=18 September 1931|accessdate=15 May 2015}}</ref> but for various reasons this was not done at that time. In 1988 the Basque Football Federacion was finally created, encompassing the original provincial federations as well as a new one for Álava (split off from Gipuzkoa the previous year), each of which continues to organise football competitions within their area.<ref>{{cite web|title=La Federación Vizcaína de Fútbol empieza a festejar su Centenario|url=http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20130920/athletic-bilbao/la-federacion-vizcaina-de-futbol-empieza-a-festejar-su-centenario_54389786525.html|work=El Mundo Deportivo|date=20 September 2013|accessdate=8 July 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Aclaración de la Federación Guipuzcoana de Fútbol|url=http://www.noticiasdegipuzkoa.com/2014/10/27/opinion/cartas-al-director/aclaracion-de-la-federacion-guipuzcoana-de-futbol|work=Noticias de Gipuzkoa|date=27 October 2014|accessdate=8 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141221184638/http://www.noticiasdegipuzkoa.com/2014/10/27/opinion/cartas-al-director/aclaracion-de-la-federacion-guipuzcoana-de-futbol|archive-date=21 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>
==Purpose== The Basque Football Federation's purpose is to promote, organise and authorise association football competition across the Basque Country autonomous region.
In addition to this, it selects and arranges fixtures for the Basque Country national football team l,<ref>{{cite web|title=La selección boliviana juega en San Sebastián.....|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/sevilla/abc.sevilla/1993/12/20/075.html|work=ABC|date=20 December 1993|accessdate=14 May 2015}}</ref> for which it aims to gain UEFA and FIFA affiliation so that it can participate in regular international competitions.<ref name=Dobaran/>
==FIFA affiliation== The Basque Football Federation has as one of its aims the official participation of the Basque Country national team in international competitions.<ref name=Dobaran/>
In 1979, Pablo Porta, president of the Spanish Football Federation, stated that the Basque Country might participate in the next World Cup; he explained that in the same way that Welsh clubs participate in the English league but are also represented by the Wales national team, so the same model could be used in Spain.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hacia una selección de Euskadi.|url=http://jable.ulpgc.es/jable/diario.de.las.palmas/1979/01/12/0027.htm?palabras=federacion+vasca+futbol|work=Diario de Las Palmas|date=12 January 1979| page =27|accessdate=20 May 2015}}</ref> However this idea has not been implemented.
In 2010, the Basque Football Federation changed its statutes to claim responsibility for international competitions in the greater Basque Country, but the Supreme Court of Spain suspended these new statutes.<ref>{{cite web|title=El Supremo ratifica la suspensión de la reforma de estatutos de la Vasca|url=http://www.diariovasco.com/v/20100331/deportes/mas-futbol/supremo-ratifica-suspension-reforma-20100331.html|work=El Diario Vasco|date=31 March 2010|accessdate=16 May 2015}}</ref>
In 2012, it was decided by the Constitutional Court of Spain that the Basque Country could compete in international competitions so long as it did not compete against Spain.<ref>{{cite news|title=El Constitucional avala las selecciones vascas si no compiten contra España|trans-title=The Constitutional Court guarantees the Basque selections if they do not compete against Spain|url=http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2012/04/20/actualidad/1334949126_870335.html|work=El País|date=20 April 2012|accessdate=16 May 2015 |last1=Lázaro |first1=Julio M. }}</ref>
In early 2019, the Federation voted in favour of applying to FIFA and UEFA for official recognition for the team.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://insideathletic.com/2019/02/23/euskal-selekzioa-will-play-panama-on-29-may-in-south-america/|title=Euskal Selekzioa will play Panama on 29 May in South America|website=Inside Athletic Club|date=23 February 2019|accessdate=24 February 2019 }}</ref>
In December 2020, Basque federation applied for UEFA and FIFA recognition.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/sports/basque-federation-applies-for-uefa-fifa-recognition-idUSKBN28Q0G6/ |title=Basque federation applies for UEFA, FIFA recognition |work=Reuters |date=16 December 2020 }}</ref>

====Copa Vasca Femenina====
The Copa Vasca (Basque Cup) has been held since the 1980s. In its current incarnation, it is usually disputed between clubs from the region who are not in the Primera División; the senior team of Athletic Bilbao have never taken part since their formation in 2002, although their B-team has featured in several finals.
From 2020, the Copa Vasca was incorporated as 'Group B' of the Copa Euskal Herria (Basque Country Cup), which does include top division clubs – all of the finals of that competition have featured Athletic Club or Real Sociedad (usually both).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.athletic-club.eus/en/news/18188/sixth-euskal-herriko-kopa-for-athletic-club.html|title=Sixth Euskal Herriko Kopa for Athletic Club|publisher=Athletic Bilbao|date=27 August 2017|accessdate=12 March 2018}}</ref>
