The Federal Football League (FFL), also known simply as the Federal League, was an Australian rules football competition in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. The competition was in existence from 1909 to 1981 and was regarded as one of the strongest metropolitan leagues in Melbourne.[2]
It is said that, in the mid-1960s, Channel 7 was seeking to telecast FFL games on a Sunday.[3]
