[2] However, some UVF clubs founded sports sections other than cycling, and as a result, they left this federation and founded the FCAF,[2] which was initially entirely devoted to cycling, but quickly opened up to athletic sports and set up the FCAF Football Championship in 1906.
[3] It was contested by the clubs affiliated to this federation, which were mainly located in the North, Gironde, and the Paris region, and it was held annually between 1905 and 1914.
[1][3] In 1907, the FCAF became a member of the French Interfederal Committee (CFI) and the winner of the FCAF Football Championship competed for the Trophée de France, a competition organized by the CFI.
[5] In the final on 16 May 1909, SC Caudry won the title after defeating the Association sportive d'Alfortville, the champions of the Paris region, by a score of 4–2.
[7] In the semifinals on 8 May 1910, CA Vitry defeated VGA Médoc 5–1 in Bordeaux, while RC Saint-Quentin, champion of Aisne, was set to face Iris Club Croisien, champion of North, in Cambrai, but Iris did not appear and Saint-Quentin thus won by forfeit.
