The Leyte Football Association was established on March 8, 2003 and was initially known as the Futbol Sociedad de Tacloban/Leyte (FSL). The FSL was formally reorganized as the Leyte Football Association on April 29, 2009 and elected its first officers as the LFA. Dan Palami was elected as the first LFA President.
