The Federação Futebol Timor-Leste (FFTL) is the national football association of East Timor .

history

The FFTL was founded in 2000 and is based in the capital Dili . She has been an associate member of the Asian Football Association AFC since 2002 . On September 12, 2005, she was accepted into FIFA together with the Comoros Football Association .

Francisco Kalbuadi Lay became the first President of the FFTL, his Vice Filomeno Pedro Cabral Fernandes . In 2007, Pedro Miguel Carrascalão , founder of Carsae FC, claimed office. He was elected by a congress. Lay and other officials ignored the result and declared Congress illegal. There are allegations that Lay was involved in the corruption affair involving Qatari FIFA member Mohamed bin Hammam . Lay is said to have received $ 50,000 as president of the FFTL. This was later followed by a scandal involving 24 Brazilians who were naturalized in East Timor to play for the Southeast Asian country. East Timor has therefore been banned from international tournaments as a penalty.

Finally, in 2017, the previous Vice President Osório Costa took over the office of FFTL President on a provisional basis, until Vice President Francisco Jerónimo was elected as the new FFTL President on February 24, 2018 . The new Vice Presidents are Falur Rate Laek , Aleixo Cobra da Silva Gama and Germano AJ da Silva . Other members of the Executive Committee are Ángelo Lopez, Augusto Henriques, Henrique da Costa, Faustinho Godinho da Costa, Maria Terezinha Viegas , Simão F. Piedade Babo and Ricardino Sarmento dos Reis.
