What is older football or soccer?
"if you are talking about AFL football then Afl is older then soccer The first game if soccer was played in 1872, November 30th The first game of football was played in 1858, August 7th" WRONG. The dates are right, officially, but the actual game of Association Football (Soccer) is far older, the OFFICIAL rules were made during this period; and although the first official game of American Football was played "first", American Football is actually a VARIATION of Association Football AND Rugby Football. So how can it be OLDER if it's based on Association Football? Foolish child.

What was the AFL referred to when first formed in 1959?
when AFL first began, it was only played in the one Australian state of Victoria, so it used to simply be called the VFL or Victorian football league. then they expanded the game into a nationwide competition and it became the AFL or austrlain football league. there's still a VFL which is a smaller Victorian based league that the coaches of AFL teams go to and watch to pick up new recruits for the major AFL teams. hope this answers your question :) P.S. I'm an Aussie, so I'm not making it up lol.
