History
The Argentine Association Football League (in English) was founded on February 21 1893
(thus it is the oldest in South America and one of the oldest to be formed outside Europe), to be later
renamed Argentine Football Association in 1903, and translated into Asociación Argentina de Football
(Argentine Football Association) in 1912.The parallel Federación Argentina de Football (Argentine Football
Federation), founded in 1912, joined the Asociación Argentina de Football, as well as did the 1919 founded
Asociacion Amateurs de Football (Amateur Football Association) in 1926.
In 1926 it was again renamed to Asociación Amateur de Argentina de Football (Argentine Amateur
Football Association), but with the professionalization of the sport in 1931 it was named Asociación
de Football Amateur y Profesionales (Amateur and Professional Football Association).
The first round of the first professional championship was on May 31 1931.
The Liga Argentina de Football (Argentine Football League), founded in 1931 merged with the Asociación de
Football Amateur y Profesionales on November 3, 1934, into what is still today the Asociación de
Fútbol Argentino (Argentine Football Association).
