The Cebu Football Association is a Filipino football association based in Cebu City. It works under the Philippine Football Federation as provincial football association for the Cebu province. The Cebu FA sends a team to represent the region in the yearly PFF National Men's Club Championship.

Not after the 1940s, football was introduced in Cebu by foreigners who were mostly clergy, expatriates, and officers and crewmembers from visiting ships. No major league was organized but competitions during weekends or as part of school celebrations were organized. Matches were also organized when foreign ships dock, where the visiting team often composes of officers and crewmembers of the ship.

Before the formation of the Cebu Football Association, former congressman and businessman William Chiongbian was instrumental to the development of football in Cebu. Chongbian, who played football during college formed the William Lines Football Team. The football team initially played matches within Cebu against local collegiate teams, seminarians, and visiting teams and later played outside Cebu such as in Dumaguete, Bacolod and Iloilo which are considered as football strongholds in the country. Chongbian also encouraged the formation of other football teams such as the Casino Español, Hap Hing Hardware and United Hardware.

The William Lines team eventually went to Manila to take part in competitions in the capital. However, due to issues in his shipping business forces Chongbian to disband the team.

Rosendo Hernaez, a football player and engineer organized the Cebu Football Association on December 18, 1961. Hernaez was elected as the association's first president. The composition of the first Board of Directors were Gregorio Sodusta, Vice-president, Valentino Darunday, SVD, Treasurer, and Joaquin M. de Ubago SR, Secretary.

In 2016, Cebu FA will be dissolved in line with the new regulations on football associations by the Philippine Football Federation. Cebu FA will be absorbed into a new regional association, called the Central Visayas Regional Football Association (CVRFA).
