English Premier League
The Premier League is the top professional football league in England. It was founded in 1992, replacing the Football League First Division as the top tier of English football. The formation of the Premier League was a response to the decline of English football in the 1980s, and the increasing dominance of Italian and Spanish clubs in European competitions.
The league was created by the top clubs in the country, who broke away from the Football League to form their own competition. The first Premier League season began in 1992-1993, and it has been played every year since then. The league currently consists of 20 teams, who play each other twice (once at home and once away) for a total of 38 matches per team. The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the champion.
