Organization
editThe 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.

Regional affiliation
editAfter its creation the PFA was listed as an associate member of the OFC.[1] Subsequently this status was lost and has not been regained as of the 4th of October, 2023.
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]
