The Sudan Football Association (S.F.A.) (Arabic: الإتحاد السوداني لكرة القدم) is the governing body for football in Sudan. It was established in 1936 and affiliated with the FIFA in 1948. Along with Egypt, Ethiopia and South Africa, Sudan football Association founded the Confederation of African Football, CAF in Khartoum in 1957.
. The Sudanese Premier League started in 1993 after the state leagues were combined in on nation league.
But the state leagues contain a huge history in which the Khartoum state league is considered to be the oldest football league in whole Africa as it started in the late 1920s of the last century as football was not only introduced by the "Atraks" but they also formed 14 football clubs in the heart of the capital city.
Although it is thought by many that the British were the first to introduce the game in Sudan in 1949 but it was until that time football was partially for professionalism. It stayed at that way until 1956 when the Association was able to form a fully professional league in Khartoum state and in other states in the North that caused a lot of problems then due to a club (formed in the South by the British army during the invasion) called Youth of Juba wasn't able to compete. But then in the early 1990s when the nationwide league was formed this team played a full competition against Sudanese team as Juba F.C that is playing in the second division although it was founded in 1938 just after Hilal and Mirrikh were formed.
In the 1961 the shield (the one which the cup holder and the premier title winner play on right now) was introduced for the first time but at that time it was played between the champions of each state so that the champion of Sudan was determined.
