Football Federation Tasmania (FFT) is the governing body for soccer in the Australian state of Tasmania. The federation oversees competitions across Tasmania, Tasmanian representative teams, and development of the sport in the state. The federation was formerly known as the Tasmanian Soccer Association until 1996, when it was renamed Soccer Tasmania. In line with national changes in March 2006, it became Football Federation Tasmania.
FFT sanctions all competitive football matches in Tasmania, either directly in the case of its own leagues, or indirectly, as is the case with local regional junior associations. FFT also trains and appoints match officials in accordance with FIFA guidelines. The FFT governs the Tasmanian State League NPL Tasmania and the two underpinning domestic leagues, the Northern Championship, and the Southern Championship. FFT also organises and runs several Tasmanian association football cup competitions. Responsibilities also include selecting and managing representative Tasmanian football sides at senior, men's, women's and youth levels.
Football Federation Tasmania is a member of Football Federation Australia, which is in turn a member of the Asian Football Confederation, and the world governing body FIFA.
Football Federation Tasmania is a member of Football Federation Australia, and has its administrative headquarters and main playing ground at KGV Park in Glenorchy, which acts as a home ground to both Glenorchy Knights and Hobart Zebras clubs.
All of Tasmania's major football teams are members of Football Federation Tasmania, and the FFT organise the only FIFA sanctioned competitive leagues in the state for both Men and Women. A hierarchy of league divisions operates in both the south and the north for senior men and women, and aged based divisions operate for juniors. SATIS, (The Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools), also runs a league for Independent schools, and although not affiliated with FFT, does so in accordance with FFT rules and with their sanctioning.
