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]
