Bohemians are not the oldest Club in the Republic of Ireland, Athlone Town were founded in 1887, they currently play in the League of Ireland Division One.
@@Irishguymakesshorts With the exception of Kerry F.C.,, none of the League of Ireland clubs are county teams, all the rest are based in towns/cities. Bohemians play in Cabra, the same can be said for all the other Dublin L.O.I. clubs. Louth has two teams Dundalk and Drogheda Utd. I fail to see what point Irishguy is trying to make. Association Football is in the main town/ city based clubs, The only association that has county based competitions is the GAA. Athlone Town are recognised by all who follow League of Ireland Football
*was… they’re an OAF (Organismo Autónomo de Futebol) since 1974. Nowadays you have 2 Académica de Coimbra (the OAF, which is the professional one, and the SF - secção de futebol - which is the amateur one that belongs to the students of the University of Coimbra)
I can confirm that Recreativo Huelva did start playing in 1889, being originally Huelva Recreation Club (apparently a common name for football and ballsports club in England at the time according to the source). They played football prior to 89 but irregularly and as a different association but in 89 they became a proper club playing football and have been playing ever since
Helsingin Ponnistus: Translation from the Finnish wikipedia "The club was founded by Viktor Damm in 1887. In the early days, the athletes of Ponnistus gained fame especially in gymnastics and athletics, but football was added to the selection in 1903 and later became the club's main sport."
12:12 San Marino Calcio is most likely the oldest but there is also AC Libertas who play in the SanMarino league as they were founded in 1928 because a san marinese woman married to a catalan was gifted the first regulation balls.
You missed the island of Malta, currently an independent Republic within the European Union. Having been part of Britain's empire until independence in 1964, football as a sport was first introduced in the island by the British forces stationed in Malta. The first local football club, Sliema Wanderers FC, was founded in 1909. The club competed in the first ever Maltese Premier League season in 1909-10.
Funnily enough I just found out today my local team Falkirk actually beat Malta 2 nil in Valletta in 1953,I was on a site actually checking other bygone results and noticed the score.
The world's first international football match was played between Scotland and England at the West of Scotland cricket club in Partick, Glasgow. The score was 0-0. The entire Scotland team was made up of Queen's Park players.
No Faroe Islands or Greenland? both have leagues although Greenland has a short tournament each year to dispute the Greenland champs and Faroe Islands have a summer league like Iceland
but he lists clubs with main focus on football, which is why he mentioned when they started football as separate branch and doing so continuous to this day, there are other clubs like TSV 1860 Munich in germany but football was just one among many sports and only became its own division in 1899, so it's not included in this list, since it was not the clubs focus from the start. Same goes for Larvik Turn, their Football division only started out in 1904.
According to themselves Académica de Coimbra only started playing football in 1912, a whole 25 years after being founded. Yes, they are the oldest club in Portugal, and the whole of Iberia in fact, but they're not the oldest football club by any metric. Not to mention that they're a university association. According to your criteria, the oldest independent continuosly operating football club just might be Boavista FC, from 1903 (older clubs have either ceised to exist, like Club Lisbonense from 1892, or stopped playing and then regained activity, like FC Porto from 1983).
Queen's Park playing in FA Cup finals has nothing to do with their founding pre-dating the Scottish Cup. Queen's Park, and several other Scottish clubs (Rangers also reached a semi final in the 1880s and forfeited the tie as they couldn't afford to travel for a replay) were members of both the FA and the Scottish FA, until this was banned by the SFA in the late 1880s.
@@alicuneytkurnaz4745in some cases. In some (like England) there were others before, that don't exist anymore and in some other clubs were founded only shortly (like days or weeks) after.
Lots of games happened within clubs or against groups of men who were informally assembled without a club. Sheffield often held internal matches that were married men vs bachelors or north vs south of the city, not all the players will have been club members. There was even a beards v clean-shaven. Then as others have said, lots of clubs have disappeared or stopped playing football.
The first "federated" club in Spain wasv FC Barcelona in 1899. The others Recreativo de Huelva or Ath. Club Bilbao play matches outside any "federation" or rules!!!
@@dabbasw31 wrong. The Club SC Germania was founded in 1887 and because of WW1 they joined alongside FC Falke HSV and became one club. Some could argue that HSV wasn’t founded in 1887 because it was actually Germania, but even if you argue that way, the HSV was until 1914 HFC, so just a football club that was founded in 1888 but changed it’s name name to HSV because Athletics became also a bigger part of the club. So in 1919 they just integrated SC Germania and FC Falke and because of the bigger traditional influence of SC Germania the Club decided in 1932 to change their date of foundation to the 29th of September 1887.
A Sociedade Filarmónica União 1º Dezembro foi fundada no dia 1 de Dezembro de 1880, sob foral de D. Carlos, Rei de Portugal, tendo como cor da bandeira o azul, símbolo marcante da monarquia. Os objectivos da Sociedade, à data da sua constituição, eram os de se dedicar à instrução e ao recreio: música, bailes, récitas e outras distracções Futebol só começou em 1935
Why exclude clubs that are part of universities etc? Makes no sense unless you are pushing the narrative of one club over another as the above clubs are still legitimate clubs. Also Cambridge University AFC were founded in 1856 and that date is recognised by the FA as the presented them with a plaque in 2006 to to honour their 150th anniversary and in 2016 the national football museum honoured their 160th anniversary. Sheffield FC are not the first or oldest club in the world.
It's a vowel we don't have in our language, so we don't have a name for it. It would only make sense to pronounce it in the Swedish way if we pronounced all the letters in Swedish.
@@HerrBrutal-bl2fk If I look at the pronunciation on wikipedia, I don't think we do, at least in standard British English. It does sound very similar to how a lot of white South Africans pronounce the vowel in BIRD, but we don't really have a word for that sound!
NO SU H TEAM AS NOTTINGHAM COUNTY - ITS NOTTS COUNTY. YES THEY PLAY IN THE CITY OF NOTTINGHAM BUT ALWAYS ONLY EVER CALLED NOTTS COUNTY. ALSO THEY ARE THE OLDEST FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUB THAT STILL PLAYING. ALTHOUGH THEY DROPPED OUT OF THE ENGLISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND NOW PLAY IN THE CONFERENCE (division5 effectively)😢
It is part of the British Isles even though it’s not part of the United Kingdom. United Kingdom and British isles are two different things. One is political the other is geographical.
