The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) is the highest football body in Sierra Leone . The association was founded in 1967 and joined FIFA and the African Football Association in the same year .

The association was suspended by FIFA from October 5, 2018 to early June 2019.

With the Football Academy of Sierra Leone, the SLFA maintains its own football academy for the purpose of promoting young talent. Since 2009 there has been a privately funded football academy, the Craig Bellamy Tombo Football Academy . This was recognized by the SLFA. It closed in April 2017 due to financial irregularities.

The SLFA organizes the national Premier League , the 2nd Division, the FA Cup , the National Female League (First Lady Trophy) and the national teams.
