From 1899 onwards, the winner of this regional competition qualified for the USFSA Football Championship, where the northern clubs competed with the Parisian clubs, becoming French champion seven times, including five from RC Roubaix, and one each from both US Tourquennoise and Olympique lillois. [1] Thanks to the results of the Lions of Flanders and Olympique Lillois in the early 1910s, it can reasonably be said that northern football was the best in France, but then the First World War broke out, in which Northern France was occupied for 4 years, thus interrupting the activities of the team and causing the death of many of its players. [2] On 19 August 1919, the Northern Football Association League (LNFA) was founded by twenty clubs, which began competing in the Northern Football League . [3]
