Editing European Paintball Federation (section)

== International paintball governance ==

=== United Paintball Federation ===

EPBF forms part of the continental federation structure associated with the [[United Paintball Federation]] (UPBF).

The EPBF statutes identify the federation as a continental confederation recognised by UPBF and provide for cooperation with other continental paintball organisations.[1]

The international structure is intended to coordinate national federations, international regulations and national-team competition.

The UPBF's published governance overview identifies EPBF as the European continental federation.[5]

=== World championship development ===

EPBF participated in the development of international national-team paintball competition.

Its February 2013 executive committee records included planning for a Paintball World Cup and discussed participation allocations for teams from different continents.[3]

The meeting proposed holding a world competition in conjunction with the final Millennium Series event and considered qualification arrangements for European teams.

The federation's 2015 congress records also document discussions concerning a proposed World Cup in Malaysia and subsequent plans for international championships.[6]

These records demonstrate EPBF's involvement in international championship planning, although individual proposals should not be treated as completed events unless independently verified.
