The Federated States of Micronesia Athletic Association (FSMAA), is the governing body for the sport of athletics in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).[1][2]

History

Athletes from Yap, Truk (now Chuuk), Ponape (now Pohnpei), and Kusaie (now Kosrae) but then part of the Ponape District, (then still being part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands,) participated already in three separate teams at the 1969 Micronesian Games,[3] at the 1975 South Pacific Games as part of a combined Micronesia team,[4] and also after re-establishment of the Micronesian Games in 1990, in four separate teams.[5]

It is reported, that a FSM Athletics Federation was already formed many years ago,[5] but the official foundation of FSMAA occurred only in 1996, and its affiliation to the IAAF in the year 1997.[6]

Current president is Ted Rutun from Yap.[1][2]
