BIRMINGHAM AMATEUR FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION

(Redirected from Birmingham AFA)

The 'Birmingham Amateur Football Association' (often referred to as the 'Birmingham AFA') is an amateur association football competition covering the city of Birmingham and surrounding area. The AFA is composed of ten divisions, containing almost 150 teams.
The association is not part of the English football league system, but some clubs from the AFA, such as Causeway United, have moved into leagues which are part of the "pyramid".
The league was formed in 1908 and will shortly be celebrating its centenary. While there is promotion and relegation between Divisions One to Nine, the four teams that finish at the bottom of the Premier Division instead have to apply for re-election, and any team from a lower division can in theory apply to replace them as long as they meet facilities criteria.
