The COF (an acronym for Club Owners Federation) is a fictional organisation located in the Hattrick universe.

Task and Controversy

COF is critisized by rivalry World Top Clubs Alliance for not having fully fulfilled their task. In particular, it is accused of being too soft in negotiations with the powerful HFA.

COF is supposed to improve club's incomes, cutting trasfers fees and raise ticket's prices. In the past they have done well, but lately there have been no more steps in these directions. The answer was that they prefer to continue to cooperate with the HFA without ever losing the long-term perspective.

Announcement

COF has published only one notable announcement so far.

Hattrick announces Club owners threatens to cancel next season 06/07/2007 The Club Owners Federation (COF) may take drastic action if the Hattrick Football Association (HFA) and the Player Union does not respond to their demands. - Many clubs are losing money today and the situation is getting worse. We can´t accept this anymore, the chairman of the COF said today. According to the COF, the current salary deal with the Player Union is too generous and should be renegotiated. They also point their finger at the HFA on the need to increase ticket and sponsor income. - We have raised these issues many times, but the HFA and the Union haven’t listened to us. This time we will not back down so easily, the chairman continued. The HFA released a written statement, confirming negotiations will start this weekend. “A solution can be found, but we must not lose the long term perspective. Money is one thing, but we also need to motivate all smart managers to continue doing what they are doing right.”"
