Some football games at the Tuvalu Sports Ground took place in front of at least 200 people.

The football field on Tuvalu is built on a coral base, with river clay shipped in from Fiji to create a surface on which grass has grown.

This improved the football field's condition, although the surface remains hard and is not uniformly flat.

The Tuvalu Islands Football Association has wanted since 1987 to be a member of FIFA.

[5] However, the lack of football and ancillary facilities in Tuvalu is a major obstacle for obtaining FIFA membership, because Tuvalu does not have any training grounds or hotels for visiting teams and supporters.
