A List of Cyprus Football Teams, Clubs, Players, Stadiums and Associations...

The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) is the governing body of football in Cyprus. It organizes the football league, whose top league is Cypriot First Division, Cypriot Cup, Cyprus FA Shield and the Cypriot national football team. It is based in Nicosia.

Football was introduced to Cyprus early in the 20th century by the founding fathers of the game, the British. Initially played in the island's schools, it proved hugely popular and a number of clubs were duly formed.

As football became established, the clubs were united in agreeing that an official body was needed to regulate the sport. In September 1934, the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) was created and matches were soon being played on an official basis.

It became FIFA member in 1948 and UEFA member in 1962. In 2007 the CFA moved to its new headquarters in Nicosia. The opening ceremony was attended by UEFA president Michel Platini, and the president of Cyprus, Mr Tassos Papadopoulos. The CFA also announced a sponsorship deal with Marfin Popular Bank.
