TheFrench Cycling and Athletics Federation (French:Fédération Cycliste des Amateurs de France, FCAF) is a French sports federation from the early 20th century.[1] Named theFrench Amateur Cycling Federation when it was created, it became the French Cycling and Athletics Federation in 1911.[1]
TheUSFSA, thesports governing body inFrance, only managed amateur sports, so notboxing orcycling, which had theUnion Vélocipédique de France (UVF).[2] However, some UVF clubs founded sports sections other than cycling, and as a result, they left this federation and founded the FCAF,[2] which was initially entirely devoted to cycling, but quickly opened up toathletic sports and set up theFCAF Football Championship in 1906.[3][4]
