soccer

The world's oldest football competition is a title claimed by many. Many early football fixtures before the 1850s did not have set rules, clubs or trophies and are poorly documented. Some competitions were semi-organised fixtures, others offered trophies. This is a list of club, national and international competitions, their founding dates as well as those that are still running.

However some of the competitions like FA CUP,Caledonian Challenge Cup,youdan cup,cromwell cup,Scottish cup and many others are regarded as the oldest football competitons ever known............
