The San Francisco Soccer Football League (SFSFL) was founded in 1902. The SFSFL is one of the oldest semi-professional and amateur league in the United States. Since its inception, the SFSFL has developed into one of the most cosmopolitan leagues in the country and produced memorable teams, players, personalities, and national champions. Originally known as the California Football Association (CFA), the SFSFL was finally launched in early 1902, and comprised of the Independents, Albion Rovers, Vampires, Thistle F.C. and the American-British Rifles. A year later, on September 4, 1903 delegates from the Vampires, American-British Rifles, French A.C., Independents, Albion Rovers, Oakland Hornets, Pickwicks, and Occidentals, met at the Spreckles Building in San Francisco to form a larger association to run the sport throughout northern California.
The SFSFL is run by the Board of Directors, several of which are volunteers. The Board meets every other Monday during the season.
There is an Annual General Meeting that is held no later than the third week in December. At the meeting, the Executive Board submits for approval of the membership the following:
- An annual financial statement audited by a duly licensed firm or by a committee appointed by the President, and the operational budget the following year,
- Recommendations for admissions or rejections of applicants, and
- Recommendations for division of funds accruing from the financial operations.

The SFSFL season runs from March until November each year. There is a mid-season break usually from mid June to late July.
Games are played on Saturdays and Sundays in the mornings and afternoons.
Teams can expect to play over 20 games within a season. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Board of Directors needs assistance with grant writing. This will help to offset the rising costs of procuring fields for the league. If you would like to help, please contact Aram Kardzair:
