Alliance Football League

The Alliance Football League (AFL) is an amateur football league in England. It was founded in 1889 and ran for three seasons, from 1889–90 to 1891–92.

The AFL was created as a rival to the Football League, which was seen as being too elitist. The AFL was more open to clubs from all levels of society, and it also allowed professionalism.

The AFL was initially successful, but it eventually folded due to financial problems.
