Premier League

The Premier League is the highest division in English football and the oldest league competition in the world, founded in 1888 as the Football League. After the Second Division was added in 1892, the Football League's objective was to control both leagues, with the top division changing it's name to the First Division. In the early 1990s clubs from the First Division successfully lobbied for separating the top flight from the English Football League, which led to the creation of the Premier League in 1992.

Today it is one of the most successful leagues in Europe and has some of the best teams and players of the world, along with being the richest league as well due to a plethora of sponsorships and revenue from TV money. The winner qualifies for the European Cup, Europe's most prestigious competition.
