The Angra do Heroísmo Football Association (Portuguese: Associação de Futebol de Angra do Heroísmo) is one of the 22 District Football Associations that are affiliated with the Portuguese Football Federation. The AF Angra do Heroísmo administers lower-tier football in the municipalities on the islands of Terceira, São Jorge, and Graciosa, within the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores.
The association, commonly abbreviated as the AF Angra do Heroísmo, is the governing body for football in the former Portuguese district of Angra do Heroísmo. Established in 1921, the Association, which is seated in the municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, on the island of Terceira, regulates football in the three Azorean islands of Terceira, São Jorge, and Graciosa.
Clubs within the Association compete in two of the three levels of the national Portuguese football league in competitions run by the Portuguese Football Federation (Campeonato Nacional de Seniores). In 2013-14, the highest ranked club was Sport Clube Praiense which competed in the Campeonato Nacional de Seniores (the third-tier of the league system).
