Football in Tuvalu is played at club and national team level. The Tuvalu national football team draws from players in the Tuvalu A-Division; the national team competes in the Pacific Games and South Pacific Games. The national team is controlled by the Tuvalu National Football Association (TNFA).
The competition takes place at the 1,500-capacity Tuvalu Sports Ground[3] in Funafuti, this is the only soccer field in Tuvalu.
