The Niue Football Association is the governing body of association football on Niue. The association was founded in 2021 as a successor to the now-defunct Niue Island Soccer Association. The current President is Deve Talagi.

History

[edit]

In March 2021, following ten years of inactivity, the Niue Island Soccer Association was removed as an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation for violations of multiple federation statutes.[2] However, at the time of the announcement an OFC official indicated that they were aware of the formation of the new Niue Football Association and welcomed its application for associate membership.[3]

In summer 2021 the NFA held its inaugural seven-a-side football season on the island with Deve Talagi, former vice-president of the NISA,[3] serving as the organisation's president.[1] The team from Vaiea won the first two editions of the men’s and women’s tournaments.[4]

In February 2022 the association unveiled its new logo, created by local designer Fakaaue lahi Tom Jnr Misikea with funding support from the government of Niue.[5]

In August 2023, winners were announced from a futsal men’s and women’s tournament. Vaiea were the champions of both tournaments. The first official 11v11 match in several years was also announced for November 2023. The match will be a representative team of the south vs the north of Niue.[6]
