The French Cycling and Athletics Federation (French: Fédération Cycliste des Amateurs de France, FCAF) is a French sports federation from the early 20th century.[1] Named the French Amateur Cycling Federation when it was created, it became the French Cycling and Athletics Federation in 1911.[1]

The USFSA, the sports governing body in France, only managed amateur sports, so not boxing or cycling, which had the Union Vélocipédique de France (UVF).[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][4]

The FCAF French Football Championship is a French football competition organized by the French Cycling and Athletics Federation (FCAF).[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.[3]

1909–10 season

[edit]

The CA Vitry [fr] won the Paris championship on 1 May 1910.[5]

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.[6] In the final on 22 May 22, CA Vitry won the title with a 4–2 win over Saint-Quentin.[3][7]
