I removed the old divisions of the Football League - there's enough leagues listed under England already without confusing the matter with 6 extinct divisions too. Whole leagues that are extinct I've left in. sjorford 09:16, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Do not move this to List of association football competitions: on Wikipedia, association football is referred to as football (soccer), which was a decision made after a long discussion. For consistency, this page should be named as List of football (soccer) competitions. Dryazan 16:19, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Adding more competitions

I added the Schweizer Cup and the Emperor's Cup. If you know of any other competitions that are not mentioned here, please add them, or you could also check the pages "Football in [insert country]" if they mention any other competitions not listed here (that's how I added the two cups).Crix 18:47, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion to remove the colour indicator system

I think that the idea looks good on paper, but the user will likely not use it as it is rather forgettable, especially when it comes to the shades of colours etc. This article will never be finished as the majority of the competitions don't even use the feature, making it rather useless. In my opinion, I think that it should be removed, along with the tables.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nabulowa (talk • contribs) 22:03, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The colours look to violate MOS:COLOR, as they're being used as the sole way to portray information. Change the tables/headings so it's clear which are male/female senior/youth events, and we don't need the colours at all. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:55, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One way to solve the problem might be to put a note on the color. Miria~01 (talk) 23:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Friendship Trophy not international

The Friendship trophy is not an international tournament since it's between two English teams. Might be true for other tournaments as well. 2003:CB:1F0B:AE01:3074:FD06:31F2:D361 (talk) 07:35, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
