2024 EMU Championships

The EMU Championships (often abbreviated to EMU) is the international continental association football competition for the EMUFA confederation.

The tournament was originally contested every two years, but was switched to an annual tournament after the success of EMU 2011. Since the FMF's 2014 restructure, it has since been held biennially again. The tournament was first contested in 2007, and there have been ten tournaments so far.

Qualification

The inaugural tournament was contested by the entire membership of the EMUFA, as well as one invitational entrant. From 2009 until 2014, the FMF World Cup qualification rounds served as a qualifying tournament for the EMU Championships. Since 2016, after the FMF moved to a biennial calendar, the EMUFA has held its own qualifiers, with both the year's host nation and the previous winners receiving automatic qualification.
