The **Madeira Football Association** (*Associação de Futebol da Madeira*, abrv. *AF Madeira*) is the regional governing body for the all football competitions in the former Portuguese district of [Funchal](/source/Funchal), including both [Madeira Island](/source/Madeira_Island) and [Porto Santo Island](/source/Porto_Santo_Island). It is also the regulator of the clubs registered in the autonomous region.

The association was founded as the Funchal Football Association (*Associação de Futebol do Funchal*) in 1916, before being renamed as the Madeira Football Association in 1996.[1]
