The Kiribati Islands Football Federationis the governing body of football in the Republic of Kiribati. We oversee the men’s, women’s and futsal national teams, the National Championship, and grassroots development across the country’s 34 atolls and reefs.
KIFF is an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation (since 2007) and a full member of CONIFA (since 2016). Our long-term goal is full FIFA membership and an OFC Nations Cup qualification — but the work that matters most happens at home, in the village pitches, school grounds and ocean-side fields where our players first learn the game.
