The Yemen Football Association () is the governing body of football in Yemen. The organisation joined FIFA in 1980 as the Yemen Arab Republic, and was later united with People's Republic of South Yemen in 1990.
In 2005 the YFA was suspended by FIFA due to serious interference by political authorities in the internal affairs of the association, violating Article 17 of the FIFA Statutes.
