The Federation Professional League (FPL) was a South African soccer league founded in 1969.
At the time, under the country's apartheid policies, integrated sport was prohibited, and the National Football League (NFL) existed as a separate league for white teams only.
The FPL was established as a non-racial league in the wake of the SASL's disbandment in 1967.
[1] When the league folded in December 1990, six teams continued for the next season, at the highest level of South African football, known as NSL Castle League.
Those six highest ranked teams were: Real Taj, Tongaat Crusaders United, Bosmont Chelsea, Santos, Manning Rangers, Dangerous Darkies.
