The Saarland Football Association (German: Saarländischer Fußballverband; SFV) is one of 21 state organisations of the German Football Association, the DFB, and covers the state of Saarland.

The SFB rejected membership in the French Football Federation on 17 July 1949 when 67 per cent of the delegates of the association voted against it.

From 1950 onwards Hermann Neuberger, later to become president of the German Football Association, the DFB, led the SFB and negotiated the admission of the latter to FIFA.

The Saarland national football team took part in international competitions, among them the qualifying rounds to the 1954 FIFA World Cup where it played against West Germany.

In 1956, following the reunification of the protectorate with West Germany, the SFB became part of the DFB again and was renamed to Saarländischer Fußball-Verband.
