French football - Any football news

Of all the countries that football has managed to reach in, France is the most reliable one! French people love this sport and therefore they do not refrain from showing their appreciation!

When it comes to French Football, the national authority that takes care of everything related to this sport is called “La Fédératio
Française de Football”. Its activity is the most visible during “La Coupe de France”, the most relevant event organized by this national association. It is important to keep in mind the fact that FFF is is charge to everything that is related to football in France, from professional games to amateurs and private matches.

The history of this government body starts back in 1863, when French people have found out what football was. There have come British people who immigrated to France and brought a new sport to be practiced on their new field. “The Scotsman”, a famous local newspaper announced French people of the new British idea to open a football club. It was created by some gentlemen from Paris who announced the first events that were about to take part in Bois de Boulogne. They even obtained all the necessary permissions from the authorities in order to hold this first football game in France.

Only nine years later, the updated rules of football have been brought by some sailors coming from England, in 1872. Therefore, it gained a different aspect and a modern touch and thus it became more and more famous. Basically, immigration has had a great impact on the culture spreading, because it facilitated it a lot and it helped natives assimilate a lot easier new costumes. They did not feel pressed to love football, they were simply attracted by this new sport who was played in front of their eyes.
However, our suggestion is to return to French football.

“Ligue de Football Professionnel” is one of the main parts of “La Fédératio
Française de Football” . In 2006, the main characters of Ligue 1 were Marseille and Strasbourg. Apart from LFF, there are also other two divisions that are being taken care of it. By taking care, we refer to the whole organizing process and management that implies football games, competitions and evidence of the 46 clubs for professionals. These two divisions are League 2 and League 3.

The difference between these three leagues is that the first one is strongly relied to professional football and is the top part of the French football system. As French people are very passionate with this sport, is important for them to have a national authority in this area, particularly for the professional players and supporters.
