The Palau Football Association is the governing body for association football in Palau. The association is based in the town of Koror. Palau currently is not currently a member of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), the Asian Football Federation, or FIFA.

The Association runs the national football team and the Palau Soccer League, as well as a planned Youth League.

Organisation

The Palau Football Association (PFA) was incorporated on May 28, 2002 under the laws of the Republic of Palau as a non-profit corporation. It is one of 14 federations of the Palau National Olympic Committee (PNOC). There is a small volunteer board that is primarily responsible to conduct all the activities of the association along with a handful of volunteer parent/coaches. (From the PFA website)

Regional affiliation

After its creation the PFA was listed as an associate member of the OFC.[1] They lost that status apparently though sometime.

In 2009 the PFA requested to become a quasi-member of the East Asia Football Federation.[2] As of 2013, no further progress has been made.[3]
