Introduction

The Champions amateur football league is a fourth-tier football league in France. It is contested by 56 clubs, divided into four groups of 14. The league operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Championnat National and the Championnat National 3, the fifth division of French football.

The league was founded in 1927 as the Championnat de France amateur (CFA). It served as the first division of French football until 1929, when it was converted to the professional league that exists today. The current incarnation of the league is a simple rebrand of the CFA, which was founded in 1993 as National 2 and lasted for five years before being converted to the CFA name in 1998 and the National 2 name in 2017.
