NAVU was established on 5 September 1958 following a merger between Aruba Football Federation (AVB) and Curaçao Football Association (CVB). The Bonaire Football Federation (BVB) later joined on 4 August 1963. The FIFA membership of CVB was transferred to NAFU in 1958.[1]

NAVU was a founding member of CONCACAF in September 1961.[2]

The Aruba Football Federation split from NAFU in 1986 and becoming a full member of CONCACAF and two years later, a full member of FIFA.[1]

In February 2011, NAFU was succeeded by Federashon Futbol Korsou (FFK) following the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles.
