Tuvalu A-Division

Tuvalu A-Division or The National Provident Fund Championship League (NPF) is the top football division in Tuvalu. Eight of the nine islands in Tuvalu are represented in the competition. Niulakita is the only island that has no football club. Some clubs have two teams competing. The competition takes place at the Tuvalu Sports Ground in Funafuti, this is the only soccer field in Tuvalu. Because of this all of the clubs are located at the head island but still represent their own eight islands.
