The Cyprus Football Association (CFA) (Greek: Κυπριακή Ομοσπονδία Ποδοσφαίρου (ΚΟΠ), romanized: Kypriakí Omospondía Podosfaírou (KOP)) is the governing body of football in Cyprus and is based in Nicosia.

[2] It organises Cyprus's football championships, whose top league is the Cypriot First Division.

[3] 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.

On 23 September 1934, the Cyprus Football Association was founded by the following eight clubs: AEL Limassol, Anorthosis Famagusta, APOEL, Aris Limassol, EPA Larnaca, Olympiakos Nicosia, Lefkoşa Türk Spor Kulübü and Trust.
