Outjo Football Academy (typically known as OFA) is a Namibian professional football club based in Etoshapoort, Outjo in the Kunene region that plays in the North West First Division, the second tier of Namibian football league system. Founded in 2015, the team plays its home games in the Outjo Sports Stadium.
OFA have won the Kunene Football League title a record 2 times since its inception in 1996. It is currently the first successful football academy/club in the Namibian, Kunene Football League era. They won the 2017/18 & 2022/23 Kunene Football League. They failed at the Nationwide First Division promotional play-offs after winning the league in their first time participating in it. After being crowned KFL 2022/23 champions they managed to come second to gain promotion to the NWFD for the first time. They have also participated in the 2017/18 DEBMARINE NFA CUP ending in the Last 16 stage of the competition.
OFA takes pride in its unique style of attacking play, locally dubbed "Manchester City of Kunene" which includes combinations of quick, short passes on the ground and this is likened to the Spanish plaay. Over the years, this style of play has been reflected in its Youth teams.
