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[]

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 Niue Football Association and welcomed its application for associate membership.[3]

In summer 2021 the NFA held its inaugural football season on the island with Deve Talagi, former vice-president of the NISA,[3] serving as the organisation's president.[1]
