Mizoram Football Association (MFA) is the governing body of football in the state of Mizoram, India. It is affiliated with the All India Football Federation, the national governing body. Mizoram football enthusiasts started Aizawl Sport Association in 1945. After 1972, the name was changed to Mizoram Sports Association. In 1973 under the guidance of Shri Lal Thanhawla, football started as a separate unit and took the name Mizoram Football Association. MFA was registered under society act in the year of 1980. MFA covers 11 regional districts. It sends state teams for Santosh Trophy and Rajmata Jijabai Trophy.

In 2012, led by Tetea Hmar as honorary secretary, who was also executive member of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), the association made a national success when it established the first domestic league, called the Mizoram Premier League (MPL), in India in 2012. MFA had no fund on its own or sponsor for the MPL, Hmar persuaded the local TV provider Zonet to join in the management. Zonet agreed a five-year deal as the sponsor with INR 2.5 million each year. The success of the league led to Mizoram football team winning the Santosh Trophy for the first time in 2014. In 2015, Mizoram lifted the coveted National Games Gold Medal in Men's Football.
