Deaf Football Australia (DFA) is the national governing body for deaf and hard-of-hearing football and futsal in Australia. We develop, promote, and support the deaf football community at every level — from grassroots to elite.

Affiliated with the Deaflympics International Football Association (DIFA), DFA fields national teams that compete with pride on the world stage — the Deaf Socceroos, Deaf Koalas, and national futsal squads.
