history

The NAVU was founded on September 5, 1958 through a merger of the Arubaanse Voetbal Bond (AVB) and the Curaçaose Voetbal Bond (CVB). In the same year the association was founded, he joined FIFA and was one of the founding members of CONCACAF on September 18, 1961 . The association came to FIFA mainly because of the existing membership of the Curaçaose Voetbal Bond. On August 4, 1963, the Bonaire Voetbal Bond was added to the NAVU. The two Leeward Islands associations of St. Martin and St. Eustatius never joined NAVU; Nor is the island of Saba , on which no organized football was played either. In 1986, the Arubaanse Voetbal Bond split from NAVU and became an independent member of CONCACAF and two years later an equally independent member of FIFA. After the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on October 10, 2010, the Nederlands Antilliaanse Voetbal Unie also dissolved in February 2011. The former Curaçaose Voetbal Bond became Federashon Futbòl Kòrsou (FFK) and Bonaire received its own football association, Federashon Futbòl Boneriano , which in 2013 became an independent associated member of the continental association CONCACAF.
