The Kiribati Athletics Association (KAA) is the governing body for the sport of athletics in the Kiribati.[1][2]
History
Athletes from Kiribati (then Gilbert Islands) participated already at the 1963,[3][4] 1966,[5] and 1971 South Pacific Games,[6] as part of a combined Gilbert and Ellice Islands team. After separation of the Ellice Islands (now Tuvalu), and independence, athletes from now Kiribati attended the 1979 South Pacific Games for the first time.[7] and the Micronesian Games in 1998.[8]
The official foundation of KAA occurred in 1999, and its affiliation to the IAAF in the same year.[9]
Mwaereiti Burennatu was elected new president of KAA in 2000.[10] In April 2005, Simon Burennatu was elected president.[11] He was followed by Tierata Taukaban. In July 2009, he was replaced by Arobati Brechtefeld[12] who served until 2012.
Current president is Tonana George.[1][2]
