Back when football was starting off on Yap, the only pitch on the island had no grass! It was only then when the governor of Yap ordered some help that bits and pieces of grassy patches were dug up and brought over and placed on the pitch so football could be played! 🏟️🇫🇲
The future looks bright for Futsal in Kosrae as it does in every state in FSM. Thank you to everyone who rooted for us over the last year in our cup efforts! The future is still full of exciting plans so be sure to stick around!

I'll be outlining 3 ways you can help!

Part 1: So I figured it would be good to tell the story of how I ended up involved with the Micro Cup! and how I will now play for Kosrae this July! It all began when I reached out last spring to various groups and people in FSM inquiring about the U-17 national team
A statement from
@HA7CLASSICS
says: "HA7 Classical Shirts is proud to sponsor the Micro Cup 2023 and support the development and growth of football in Micronesia. We are very excited for the tournament and can't wait to see the teams in action."
The Federated States of Micronesia Football Association has a brand new Facebook page! Please do show some support if you're into obscure football, I know it'd mean a lot to everyone at
@OfficialFSMFA

Part 2: As good as I would've hoped. Soccer had slowed a lot since Pacific Games and there wasn't much funding for it. The FA which I had wrote was now inactive and it didn't look like things would improve anytime soon. With this I figured I had to do something if there was ever
