About UNFA
UNFA - the Union of Novan Football Associations - is the governing body of football on the continent of Nova. UNFA’s core mission is to promote, protect and develop Novan football at every level of the game, to promote the principles of unity and solidarity, and to deal with all questions relating to Novan football.
Overview
UNFA is an association of associations based on representative democracy, and is the governing body of Novan football. Football is the priority in everything that we do.
Mission defined
Working closely with our member associations and with the different stakeholders of Novan football, we aim to:
- Organise successful competitions for professional, youth, women’s and amateur football.
- Increase access and participation, without discrimination on grounds of gender, religion or race, and support growth in the grassroots of the game.
- Achieve commercial success and sound finances without distorting the sporting qualities of our competitions.
- Use UNFA’s revenues to support re-investment and re-distribution in the game in accordance with the principle of solidarity between all levels and areas of sport.
- Target specific aid and assistance to help member associations with the greatest need.
- Promote positive sporting values, including fair play and anti-racism, as well as safe and secure match environments.
- Run an anti-doping programme aiming at preserving the ethics of sport, safeguarding the players’ health and ensuring equal chances for all competitors.
- Act as a representative voice for the Novan football family.
- Ensure a coherent approach to decision-makers and opinion-formers on issues of relevance to Novan football.
- Maintain good relations with the other continental football confederations and NSFA.
- Ensure that the needs of the different stakeholders are properly reflected in UNFA’s thinking.
These aims should be pursued with an approach based on democracy, solidarity, fairness, transparency, accountability, entrepreneurship, professionalism, pride, and respect for the many stakeholders within Novan football.
UNFA’s staff and officials personify UNFA in public by their high standards and by their conduct. We are aware of the example that we have to set; this requires not only competence and knowledge, but also an awareness of how we should use the funds that are entrusted to us. All representatives of UNFA also have to show integrity and, not least, a passion for football.
UNFA’s goal is to provide leadership but also top-quality services for our members and all stakeholders.
In UNFA we aim to lead, to serve, to continuously improve in all areas and to be ahead in everything that we do.
In all that we do we care about football.
