Notts County is the oldest league football club, but I heard there is an older football club. Is this true?
I think the other club is in Sheffield.
Answers:
Looks as though you could be right although it is disputed.
"The title of the world's oldest football club, or the oldest club in a particular country, is often disputed, or is claimed by several different clubs, across several different codes of football.
Many early clubs did not use the word football in their name at all. Conversely, early rugby clubs sometimes referred to themselves, or continue to refer to themselves, as simply a "football club", or as a "Rugby football club".
It is has been claimed that the Barnes Club (later Barnes Rugby Football Club), from Barnes in London, was formed in 1839.[1] However this has not been conclusively documented. It is also argued that Guy's Hospital Football Club, founded by staff at Guy's Hospital in London in 1843, is the oldest club. While a rugby club still exists at Guy's Hospital, the connection between the present club and the one formed in 1843 is poorly-documented.[2] The oldest football club with a well-documented, continuous history is Dublin University Football Club, founded in 1854 at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, which is also a Rugby club.
Sheffield Football Club, in Sheffield, England is the oldest documented non-university club, and was founded in 1857. It initially played a code of its own devising and later switched to Association football (soccer). FIFA officially acknowledges it as the oldest Association football club in the world."
The oldest club is Sheffield FC. According to my Bf they now play in the Northern counties east league.
Sheffield Footbal Club in Sheffield, England is the oldest documented non-university club, and was founded in 1857. It initially played a code of its own devising and later switched to Association football (soccer). FIFA officially acknowledges it as the oldest Association football club in the world.
