PanSa East F.C.

PanSa East FC is an American Samoan professional football club from Pago Pago which competes in the ASFA Soccer League. PanSa are four-time winners of the domestic league, making them American Samoa's most successful club along with Pago Youth FC. However, the club struggled to emulate this success in the following years, finishing fourth in both 2008 and 2009 and dropping to fifth in 2010.

2000 title shared with Wild Wild West

PanSa East qualified for the tournament held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea by winning their domestic league. PanSa competed in group B which also contained Tafea FC from Vanuatu, AS Venus from French Polynesia, Titavi FC from Samoa and Tupapa Maraerenga FC from the Cook Islands. Unfortunately, PanSa lost all of their four games and finished bottom of the group. However, this does not tell the whole truth of the tournament. In fact, PanSa made a good start to the tournament, drawing 1–1 with AS Venus and thrashing Tupapa FC 4–0. However, the OFC Disciplinary Committee ruled that 7 of PanSa's 18 players were ineligible, and as some of the ineligible players were fielded against Venus and Tupapa, PanSa's opponents were awarded a 2–0 win in both games. PanSa were unable to field a team for the next game against Tafea, so their opponents were again awarded a 2–0 victory.

The 2002 Samoa Cup involved leading clubs from American Samoa and Western Samoa, as well as invited clubs from across Oceania, including Fiji Flyers from New Zealand. PanSa reached the final where the met Lepea FC of Samoa. Lepea were awarded the win after PanSa were disqualified minutes before kick off as five players on their teamsheet were ineligible and had not been registered with the American Samoa Football Association.

PanSa were crowned champions of American Samoa's "Official Championship" after 14 teams rebelled against the ASFA and formed their own "breakaway league". PanSa won the official league, only losing one game in the process, and finished 8 points ahead of their nearest rivals, Utulei. This championship win was PanSa's third consecutive, an impressive feat at any level.

After finishing in the top two of their pool, PanSa qualified for the round robin tournament involving the top two teams of each group. After also finishing in the top two of this tournament, PanSa qualified for the championship final, played on 12 February against Konica. PanSa won 1–0 to claim their 4th ASFA senior league title.

PanSa, Utulei Youth and Konica Airbase all tied for 3rd place in a closely fought league. Had PanSa finished in the top two of their group "Pool 2", they would have qualified for the semi-finals, but the club fell three points short. Notable results included an emphatic 7–0 away win at Autali Misasa Katolik and an incredible 15–2 away victory against relegated Aua Old School on the first day of the season. Things did not get any better for Old School, who proceeded to lose every one of their fixtures in the group.

NB: Utulei Youth disqualified
