Association football is the most popular sport, both in terms of participants and spectators, in London.[1] London has several of England's leading men's football clubs. The city is the home of seventeen men's professional clubs, several dozen men's semi-professional clubs and several hundred men's amateur clubs regulated by the London Football Association, Middlesex County Football Association, Surrey County Football Association and the Amateur Football Alliance.[2] Most London clubs are named after the district in which they play (or used to play), and share rivalries with each other.
London football teams have won a total of 21 English first division titles, 41 FA Cups, 12 EFL Cups, 8 Community Shields, 5 Football League Championships in the Premier League era, 1 Club World Cup, 2 Champions Leagues, 5 Cup Winners' Cups, 4 UEFA Cups/Europa Leagues, 1 Europa Conference League, 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, 2 Super Cups, and 2 Intertoto Cups. In the 1989–90 season, eight of London's professional clubs were in the top tier of English Football at the same time, meaning that 40% of the member clubs of the First Division that season were based in one city.
