An 1881 Australian rules football match betwe Melbourne and Geelong. The clubs were founded in 1858 and 1859 respectively and currtly compete in the Australian Football League (AFL), making them the world's oldest football clubs that are now professional.
The oldest football clubs trace their origins to the mid-19th ctury, a period wh football evolved from being a casual pastime to an organised mainstream sport.
The idtity of the oldest football clubs in the world, or ev in a particular country, is oft disputed or claimed by several clubs, across several codes of football. The Foot-Ball Club of Edinburgh is thought to be the earliest recorded football club in the world, with records going back to 1824. Rugby clubs also referred to themselves, or continue to refer to themselves, as simply a "football club", or as a "rugby football club". "Club" has always meant an indepdt tity and, during the historical period in question, very few high school or university teams were indepdt of the educational institutions concerned. Consequtly, school and university football teams were seldom referred to as "clubs". That has always be the case, for example, in American football, which has always had ties to college sport in geral. Conversely, however, the oldest still-existing "football club" with a well-documted, continuous history is Dublin University Football Club, a rugby union club founded in 1854 at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. There exists some record of Guy's Hospital Football Club being founded in London in 1843, through an 1883 fixture card referring to Guy's 40th season.

While the first clubs emerged in Britain, possibly as early as the fifteth ctury, these are poorly-documted and defunct. For example, the records of the Brewers' Company of London betwe 1421 and 1423 mtion the hiring out of their hall "by the "football players" for "20 pce", under the heading "Trades and Fraternities".
The listing of football players as a "fraternity" or a group of players meeting socially under this idtity is the earliest allusion to what might be considered a football club.
Other early sporting bodies dedicated to playing football include "The Gymnastic Society" of London which met regularly during the second half of the eighteth ctury to pursue two sports: football and wrestling.

The club played its matches – for example betwe London-based natives of Cumberland and Westmorland – at the Knington Common from well before 1789 until about 1800.
The Foot-Ball Club (active 1824–41) of Edinburgh, Scotland, is the first documted club dedicated to football, and the first to describe itself as a football club.

Supported by the Guinness Book of Records, and founded by staff at Guy's Hospital in London in 1843, the Guy's, Kings and St Thomas' RFC would be the oldest "football" club of any code. Nevertheless, the connection betwe the prest club and the original "Guy's Hospital" formed in 1843 is still disputed,
Alleging that the prest club is a modern amalgam of three formerly distinct hospital rugby clubs, starting with the Guy's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital teams which were the first to merge following the union of their respective Medical Departmts. The last departmt to merge was the King's College Hospital in 1999, although its club (founded in 1869) remained as a separate institution.
