Imathia Football Clubs Association (Greek: Ένωση Ποδοσφαιρικών Σωματείων Ημαθίας) is the organization that is responsible for football in the prefecture of Imathia in Greece. Its offices are housed in Veria and it is a member of the HFF.[1] It is responsible for running the local league and cup, as well as the youth and children's leagues. It also coordinates the activities of the mixed youth and children's groups, which represent the county at national level.

History

It was founded in 1954 as the "Central-Western Macedonia Football Clubs Association" and included clubs from the counties of Imathia, Pella and Pieria . It was based in Veria.[2]

The first Board of Directors of the association consisted of the president Delidimitriou Antonios, the vice-president Mitsios Christos, the general secretary Georgios Lelekakis and the councilors Theodoros Kazantzidis, Klonos Xenofontas, Simeon Gotouhidis and Athanassios Kouzas.[2]

In 1971, the clubs of Pella seceded from the Association, forming the Pella Football Clubs Association.[3] In 1980, the unions of Pieria also seceded, which created the Pieria Football Clubs Association. Therefore, the association changed its name to "Union of Football Clubs of Central Macedonia", while in 1995 it took the name "Union of Football Clubs of Imathia".
