The Chagos Football Association (CFA) was established in 2013 and is led by Marie Sabrina Jean. 

The Players are second and third generations born in Mauritius whose parents and grandparents were forcibly removed from their homeland The Chagos Islands. The team has proudly represented their ancestors in many international games including ConIFA World Football Cup in 2016.

I play for Chagos Island because I'm proud of who I am and where my family is from. For me football gives us a voice and  we going to use it to make sure everyone in the world hear us." - Désiré Sambouang.
