This is a new promotional site for SFA - it looks like they’ve put a fair bit of work into it.
There may be updates following the NYCC panel later today.
Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.
But all the alternatives I have seen would be worse.

Oh? Is there something I’m not thinking of?
Curious too. Maybe they don't like the Scottish Football Association.
The most simple acronym would be SA. It’s unfortunately the acronym for so many different things that it wouldn’t have a difficult time establishing an identity with and for the who.
If the VOY, ENT and DIS precedent were followed, some have proposed ACC since STA for Star could fit any of the shows. (I have seen ACC in the wild on other social media.)
The quibble with SFA is that Starfleet is one word not two and it’s unprecedented to go with the first letter in a syllable to get the designation.
For what it’s worth, SA seems to be what Memory Alpha has landed on. It’s designating article stubs for the show as ‘SA Performers’ etc.

There’s some fun to be had in here - one of the “Distinguished Heroes” is Chwolkk, Class of 2376 - a Horta who served aboard the Titan in the novels.
