Beta Ethniki is incorrect. The Football League was originally known as the Football Alliance. It was founded in 1889 as a rival to the Football League, which had been established in 1888. The Football Alliance consisted of 12 clubs from the Midlands and the North of England. In 1892, the Football Alliance merged with the Football League, and the combined league became known as the Football League First Division.
