Birmingham & District Football League

The Birmingham & District Football League (BAFL) is an amateur association football competition covering the city of Birmingham, England, and the surrounding area, for football teams playing on a Saturday.

The league was founded in 1908 and is one of the oldest football institutions in the UK. It currently has 10 divisions, with teams ranging from the Premier Division to Division Six.

History

The BAFL was founded in 1908 by a group of local football enthusiasts. The first season consisted of just 10 teams, but the league has grown steadily over the years and now has over 100 member clubs.

The BAFL has a long and rich history, and has produced some of the best amateur footballers in the country. In recent years, the league has been won by teams such as Boldmere St Michaels, Sheldon Town, and Silhill Athletic.

Current Season

The current season of the BAFL is underway, and the Premier Division is currently being led by Old Wulfrunians. Other teams in contention for the title include Sutton United, Sutton Coldfield Town, and Leamington FC.

The BAFL also has a number of cup competitions, including the Bill Cup, the Holder Cup, and the Jeffs Cup. These competitions are open to teams from all divisions, and provide a chance for teams to win silverware and progress to the next level.
