Football In Bonaire
The sport of association football in the island of Bonaire is run by the Bonaire Football Federation. The association administers the men's national team, the women's national team, as well as the Bonaire League.

Evidence of the league is very limited though, but matches off the island certainly happened as early as 10 June 1956, when Bonaire club Flamingo played Blitz from Sint Maarten, with further matches in 1959 and 1961 on Aruba.
