Asociación de Fútbol de Isla de Pascua

The Asociación de Fútbol de Isla de Pascua (AFIPA) is the Easter Island football association.

History

The team played two unofficial games against a team from the Juan Fernández Islands in 1996 and 2000, before playing its first official match on 5 August 2009, in the first round of the Copa Chile 2009; CF Rapa Nui lost 4–0 against Colo-Colo.

For its game against Colo-Colo the team was coached by former Chilean international Miguel Angel Gamboa, who spent several weeks honing the skills of the local players, as well as teaching them the basics of heading, shooting, and positioning.

In 2018, the team has competed at the "Festival des Îles" in Tahiti, finishing in 3rd position in the group (of five teams), with two wins, one loss and one draw.
