History

Football as a popular sport has a long history and deep-rooted traditions in Lionsroar. Originating from early forms of rugby and other medieval ball games, it is by far the most popular and historically widespread sport. However, it was not until the 19th century that football experienced new waves of development and, alongside gymnastics, contributed to a collective movement. Clubs were founded, associations were formed, and the first rulebooks were written.
At that time, the League of Kings existed, but it collapsed at the end of the 19th century, leading to a civil war. During this period, football was regionally dominant, with its own leagues, cups, teams, and regulations. Consequently, there was no national team for Lionsroar, and even cross-border matches between clubs were rare.
