The Algerian Football Federation (AFF); ({{langx|ar|الاتحادية الجزائرية لكرة القدم}}) is the governing body of football in Algeria. Formed in 1962 and was based in the capital Algiers. It has jurisdiction on the Algerian football league system and is in charge of the men's and women's national teams. Although an unofficial national team had played fixtures since 1958, the first recognized international took place in January 1963, some six months after independence. In 2021, twenty structures were added to the Algerian Football Federation. The Algerian Football Federation is considered a member of FIFA.
History
The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) was founded on the founding meeting of 21 October 1962. During this meeting, the entire football system in Algeria was rethought, the three main leagues before the independence of Algeria were kept, but were named in the West Region (former Oran League), Center Region (former Algiers League) and East Region (former Constantine League). On the other hand, the official colors of the national team (red, white and green) and also the project of affiliation to FIFA were designated.{{cite news|url=https://www.aps.dz/sport/146362-federation-algerienne-de-football-60-ans-d-histoire-et-de-realisations|title=Fédération algérienne de football: 60 ans d'histoire... et de réalisations|language=fr|work=aps.dz|publisher=Redaction|date=19 October 2022}}
