Mission & Strategy
Where we are going and how we will get there.
Mission Statement
"To build a legitimate, sustainable, and internationally recognised national football programme for the Marshall Islands — while using the sport to advocate for our nation's survival in the face of climate change."
2030 Strategy
Six Strategic Pillars
FIFA Recognition
Achieve OFC or AFC membership and full FIFA recognition for the Marshall Islands men's and women's national teams by 2030.
1,000 Registered Players
Reach 1,000 active registered players across all inhabited atolls through Project 1,000 Players — making football accessible island-wide.
Domestic League
Establish a sustainable domestic football league (MISL) that provides regular competitive football year-round for Marshallese players.
Coach Education
Train a network of locally-qualified coaches across the archipelago, delivering OFC and FAW-accredited coaching courses to grow the game sustainably.
Climate Advocacy
Use football as a platform to amplify the Marshall Islands' climate crisis — engaging international audiences, partners, and policymakers.
Diaspora Connection
Build bridges with Marshallese communities in the United States, New Zealand, and across the Pacific — connecting the diaspora to the national programme.
Our Values
Community First
Football as a vehicle for community building, cultural pride, and youth development across the atolls.
Resilience
Operating against the odds — geographic isolation, limited infrastructure, climate threat — and choosing to see these as the story, not the obstacle.
Inclusivity
Men's and women's football developed with equal commitment. The diaspora is part of the team.
Transparency
A volunteer-led organisation accountable to the Marshallese people and the global community that supports us.

The MISF is completely self-funded. Help us provide opportunities to young Marshallese players by contributing to our fundraiser.
