Overview[]
The RSFA governs all professional and amateur football clubs in Samuelonia. All of Samuelonia's professional and amateur football clubs must be members of the Football Association. The RSFA is responsible for the appointment of the management of the Samuelonia's men's and women's national teams, the organization of the King's Cup (the nation's most prestigious cup competition), and is the governing body of the 10 professional divisions.
The RSFA is also responsible for grassroots level football, including schools, colleges, university, junior and park league football.
History[]
The RSFA was founded in 195 by Sir Francisco Della Montlivio. The original concept was 6 football clubs in one division named the Royal St Samuel Football League. Since those days when the RSFA was a tiny comitee, the association has grown from strength to strength and now has 200 professional football teams and a whole host of womens, youth and amateur branches.
The RSFA chose not to join IVEFA originally after the clubs voted against joining, fearing that the number of international fixtures would interrupt the domestic league. However, after huge pressure from supporters, RSFA voted to apply for IVEFA membership and was accepted in 301. The RSFA was the driving force in the creation of the Union of Longerath Football Associations in 308.
