The Faroe Islands Football Association (FSF) (Faroese: Fótbóltssamband Føroya) was established in 1979. It is the governing body of football in the Faroe Islands. It organizes the football league, the highest level of which is the Faroese Formuladeildin (the Faroese First Division). It also runs the Faroe Islands national football team. It is based in Tórshavn.
Football has been played in the Faroes since late 19th century. The first faroese national football league was held in 1942. On January 13, 1979 the Faroese Football Association was established. At first it worked with organising Faroese football. The first Faroese national football league for women was held in 1985.
In the 1980s the Faroese Football Association started training coaches and managers. At first it was done with help from Denmark, but since the mid 1990s this training has been under full Faroese responsibility.
On July 2, 1988 the Faroes gained membership to FIFA, and on April 18, 1990 they gained membership to UEFA. Since then the Faroes have participated in international football competitions.
