    A foliation that admits a Weil geometry as its transverse structure is called by us a Weil foliation. We proved that there exists an attractor for any Weil foliation that is not Riemannian foliation. If such foliation is proper, there exists an attractor coincided with a closed leaf. The above assertions are proved without assumptions of compactness of foliated manifolds and completeness of the foliations.

    We proved also that an arbitrary complete Weil foliation either is a Riemannian foliation, with the closure of each leaf forms a minimal set, or it is a trasversally similar foliation and there exists a global attractor. Any proper complete Weil foliation either is a Riemannian foliation, with all their leaves are closed and the leaf space is a smooth orbifold, or it is a trasversally similar foliation, and it has a unique closed leaf which is a global attractor of this foliation.
