Sunday league football Totally Explained

Everything about Sunday League Football totally explained

Sunday league football is a term used in England to describe those association football leagues which play on Sunday, as opposed to the more usual Saturday. These leagues tend to be lower standard amateur competitions, whose players may have relatively little ability, but play purely for the love of the game. The term pub league can also be used, due to the number of public houses that enter teams.
   Sunday leagues are sanctioned by the local County Football Association, or (especially in London) the Amateur Football Alliance. There is no organised promotion or relegation between leagues, unlike in the National League System, which covers the top few levels of amateur football. However, ambitious Sunday teams may apply to join a Saturday league for a higher standard of football, and from there graduate to the FA-sanctioned leagues.
   The FA Sunday Cup is a national knock-out competition for English Sunday league football teams administered by the FA. It was first staged in 1964.
   The most prominent single location for Sunday league football is Hackney Marshes in east London.
   Sunday leagues also exist in Scotland, where they make use of local council-owned pitches and facilities for nominal fees and are known as Sunday Welfare Football. Women's football is usually played on Sunday, but it isn't considered Sunday league football.
