The Liga Palm is an association football league consisting of professional and semi-professional association football teams in Damukuni.

Until UICA Cycle 66, the Liga Palm served as the association football league for what was then the nation of Islana Lunigo, consisting of a two flights of ten and eight teams in the first and second divisions, respectively. With the ratification of the Namagoro-Moaria Accords in 2035, Futbol Islana Lunigo folded, leaving the Damukuni Football Association in charge of two competing leagues.
