INFE (English: International Network of Fanclubs of Eurovision, Russian: Международное сообщество фанатов Евровидения) is an international organisation that was founded in 2011 in Athens, Greece by Chris Zafeiridis (as the Greek Eurovision Fanclub President). The organisation consists of a network of 12 Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond.[1]
The EBU has recognized INFE Network as one of the main fan-organizations of the Eurovision Song Contest.[2] INFE Network members annually receive fan and press accreditations for Eurovision Song Contest directly from the EBU, bypassing national broadcasters. Each year INFE clubs support national Eurovision song contest representatives.[3][4]
