The sport of football in American Samoa is governed by the Football Federation American Samoa (FFAS), the nations football association.[1][2] It was founded in 1984, and affiliated to FIFA and to the OFC in 1998. It organizes the FFAS Senior League (the national men's domestic football tournament), the FFAS Women's National League (the national women's domestic football tournament), the men's national team and the women's national team.[3]
American Samoa is one of the weakest footballing nations in the world, due to both its small population base and the overwhelming popularity of American football, basketball and baseball in the islands.[4][5]
