Hi guys, today we are going to show you a preview of the competitional system from France. The first football club was introduced to France in 1863, as described in a newspaper article by The Scotsman, which stated «A number of English gentlemen living in Paris have lately organized a football club. The football contests take place in the Bois de Boulogne, by permission of the authorities and surprise the French amazingly.» Modern football was introduced nine years later in 1872 by English sailors playing in Le Havre in 1872.
