    England is the Home of Football. The oldest professional football team in the world is also the oldest professional football team in the world. It is the Sheffield FC. The club was established in 1857 by cricketers William Prest and Nathaniel Creswick for keeping up with their fitness. The club and its team however, never became popular. They only won the FA Amateur Cup in 1904.

      Sheffield F.C is the oldest club club in England but is not professional club so it will be Notts County (1962) in League 2.
