Association football is the most popular sport, both in terms of participants and spectators, in London. London has several of England's leading men's football clubs. The city is the home of seventeen men's professional clubs, several dozen men's semi-professional clubs and several hundred men's amateur clubs regulated by the London Football Association, Middlesex County Football Association, Surrey County Football Association and the Amateur Football Alliance. Most London clubs are named after the district in which they play, and share rivalries with each other.
