Ligue de Football Association

[1][2] These clubs left the USFSA because the latter refused to join the French Interfederal Committee (CFI), which had represented France at FIFA for three years.

[3][4] The founding members were Georges Caizac, Mac Cabe, Vaury, Henri Beau, Robert Desmarets, Michel Fontaine, and the president of Red Star Jules Rimet.

In October 1917, the Ligue du Midi de Football Association (LFMA), bringing together clubs from the South-West and Languedoc, was refused recognition by the USFSA, so they affiliated with the LFA.

In 1912, Red Star, then led by their infamous captain Lucien Gamblin and their sports director/coach Roland Richard, was crowned LFA champion.

[2] The club took advantage of this victory to meet the greatest European teams of the time, including a narrow defeat (2–1) at home against the English professionals Tottenham in 1913.

[20] In the last matchday of the championship, CA Paris sealed its second LFA title with a 4–1 win over Club de Levallois, thus finishing at 50 points, five more than runner-up Red Star.

[2][20] The 1913–14 LFA Championship was contested by 8 teams, which were the same as the previous edition minus Etoile sportive du XIIIe and Club de Levallois.
