The United Republican Football Federation (French: Fédération des Républiques unies de football; Latin: Foederatio Pediludii Respublicana Unita), commonly referred to as the URFF, is the governing body of association football in Omerica. Formed in the aftermath of the Philibiscostal Bus Tipping and the Omerican football betting scandal, the URFF is the de facto successor to the dissolved Omerican Football Federation and is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the amateur and professional game in Omerica. Based at 1 Avenue des Révolutionnaires in Old Charlescourt, the URFF is a member of the World Cup Committee and Federation of Football Independents, sending representative teams to each of the organisations' respective competitions.

Through its constituent regional and republican associations and the affiliated Omerican Professional Football League, the United Republican Football Federation directly or indirectly sanctions all competitive football matches in Omerica. The URFF runs a number of competitions, most notably the Federation Cup, and has veto power over any changes to the rules and operations of the OPFL.

URFF Council

The URFF has a figurehead President, appointed by the URFF Congress and almost always a prominent retired footballer. The day-to-day governance of the URFF is left to its Executive Board, which consists of members elected by the regional associations and representatives of "recognised stakeholders". The Chief Executive of the URFF is the executive head of the organisation and is responsible for the policy direction of the association and chairing URFF Council meetings.
