About Football Federation American Samoa (FFAS)
Football Federation American Samoa (FFAS) came into existence following inaugural elections held in late 2007. The new general secretariat took office under newly elected FFAS President Iuli Alex Godinet in the first elections for the national body since 2005.
Godinet headed off four other candidates in the race for the top job that included Pou Supapo, Tony Langkilde, Malia Perelini and Maselino Tautu. American Samoa football has struggled on the pitch since it was admitted to the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) in the 1990's with a 31-0 defeat against Australia in an OFC Nations Cup match an unwanted blemish in its short history.
American Samoa is currently ranked 201st in the FIFA world rankings but there is hope for the territory with the completion of work on the Pago Stadium Goal Project that was inaugurated prior to the XIII South Pacific Games - Samoa 2007 under the watchful eyes of former FIFA World Cup winner and OFC Player of the Year Christian Karembeu.
Senior eleven-a-side competition for both men and women recommenced in 2007 with Konica FC winning the men's title after a 4-2 victory over Peace Brothers.
The Football Federation American Samoa is not related to the Samoan Football Federation.
