The sole custodian of football affairs<\/strong>


LeFA is internationally recognized by the international football fraternity. The Association is an affiliate of the Federation of International Football Associations \u2013 FIFA, the Confederation of African Football \u2013 CAF and the Council of Southern African Football Associations \u2013 COSAFA internationally and the Lesotho Sport and Recreation Commission \u2013 LSRC and the Lesotho National Olympic Committee \u2013 LNOC locally in the Kingdom of Lesotho.<\/p>

The Lesotho Football Association is a duly registered entity with the structures of the Kingdom of Lesotho. The current organisation was registered in 1994 following the football fraternity\u2019s request for the sport to run its affairs independently from direct Government administration. It is worth mentioning that prior to 1994 and since independence, football affairs used to be managed directly by bodies which were appointed by the Government.


The elite league then was managed by a body then known as the Senior Football Executive Committee \u2013 SFEC and the other leagues were managed by the Junior Football Executive Committee \u2013 JFEC.


Founding Legislation<\/strong>


The Lesotho Football Association is an autonomous organisation with a legal persona. The mandate of the Association is to develop, regulate and promote the sport of football in the Kingdom of Lesotho and also to be part of a global football family in the delivery of the same mandate.


The Association has an objective of positioning itself as a truly functional entity that dispenses its mandate along what can be termed as \u2018best practices\u2019.


The purpose of this document is to move from the practice of depending highly on non-budget based direction to more of an inclusive approach which is driven by attainable results based programs; programs that are tailor made to suit and address the needs of the Association and most importantly how these programs can be geared in a direction that promises to position the Association over a four year cycle in line with the FIFA Cycle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
