The Nigeria Football Association (NFA, which will be renamed the "Nigerian Football Federation" starting in 2009) organises domestic and international football in Nigeria. It was formally launched in 1945 and formed the first Nigerian national football team in 1949. It joined FIFA and the CAF in 1959. The NFA headquarters are in the city of Abuja.

As of 2008 it organises three leagues: The Nigerian Premier League, the Amateur League and the Women's League, and five competitions, including the Coca Cola FA Challenge Cup.
