Football Alberta Information

Football Alberta operates under a trade name and is officially registered as the Alberta Amateur Football Association (AAFA), a non-profit society under the corporate registry of the government of Alberta. The origin of the association started in the late 1960's as the Alberta Coaches Association in principal. Key football stakeholders (coaches and administrators) in Alberta decided that an official association should be registered and the AAFA was granted as a society in 1973. As the number of activities and programs increased, there was a need to hire an Executive Director in the late seventies to run all of the services. Additional funds became available and a Technical Director was added to the staff in 1988.
