American Samoa 2002

Official Championship: champions: Pansa, lost only one game; runners-up: Utulei, 8 points behind. Break-Away League: ASFA Soccer League ("Shield") NB: 14 teams were denied participation in this year's league of the American Samoa Football (Soccer) Association because of a late registration issue which resulted in 60% of the teams registration fees being withheld by ASFSA to pay a local attorney's fees and the 14 teams forming their own league, defiantly using the same official name. The results below refer to the rebel league.
