Although The Football Association was founded in England in 1863, it was a strictly amateur league until 1885. - the Football Association is not a league, it is the governing committee of all football in England. There were no football leagues in existence until 1888 when The Football League was formed, so this note is essentially redundant -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
