County Football Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The County Football Associations are the local governing bodies of association football in England. County FAs exist to govern all aspects of Sunday league football. They also sometimes deal with such matters as the training of new referees and coaches.
Most of the County FAs align roughly along historic county boundaries, although some cover more than one county, and some of the major cities, particularly those with a strong football tradition, have their own FAs. The Sheffield FA was the first to be created, in 1867. Several institutions have county FA status in their own right, including Cambridge and Oxford universities, the armed forces, and the Amateur Football Alliance, which has a strong presence in the south-east of England.
