Paddle Europe, formerly known as the European Canoe Association (ECA), is the umbrella organization for canoeing sport in Europe. It was founded in Rome, Italy, on December 11, 1993.[1] The organization has 45 member countries.[2] The association was recognized by the International Canoe Federation at the ICF congress in Acapulco in 1994.[3]

In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ECA suspended the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes, and suspended all officials from Russia and Belarus from officiating at any ECA event and attending or taking part in any ECA meetings.[4] In May 2023, the International Canoe Federation reinstated Russian and Belarusian athletes, shortly after a Russian missile attack forced cancellation of a canoe event in Ukraine.[5]
