FFAS Senior League is the top division of the Football Federation American Samoa in American Samoa and is played on an amateur basis.
In 2009, the last two rounds of the league and the play-offs were cancelled because the only available pitch in Pago Pago was badly damaged in the 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami.[1] During the 2010 season, all matches were held at the Kananafou Theological Seminary College Sports Field as the stadium usually used in Pago Pago was still undergoing repairs.[1]
