History

The KAFL was founded in 1972 by a group of football enthusiasts in Kanchipuram. The league was originally called the Kanchipuram District Football League.

The league was renamed the Kanchepuram Amateur Football League in 1990. The name change was made to reflect the fact that the league was open to all amateur football teams in Kanchipuram, regardless of their district.

The KAFL has grown steadily over the years. In its early years, the league had only a few teams. However, the league has now grown to have a total of 32 teams.

The KAFL has also become more competitive over the years. The top teams in the league are now very strong and the competition for the title is fierce.
