The European Confederation of Roller Skating (French: Confédération Européenne de Roller Skating, CERS), currently branded as World Skate Europe (WSE; infrequently as 'World Skate Europa'), is a governing body of roller skating and inline skating in Europe. The World Skate Europe is a member of World Skate, formerly the International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS).
Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, World Skate banned Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from its competitions, and will not stage any events in Russia or Belarus in 2022.
