After two years of experimenting with different codes, they published a first rulebook in 1859, known as the \u2018Sheffield Rules\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the laws adopted in this rulebook influenced the Football Association\u2019s own regulations upon its creation in 1863, the genesis of the football that is still played to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite being FA members, Sheffield FC and other clubs in the region stuck to their own regulations until 1877, when the FA incorporated more laws from the Sheffield rulebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheffield FC also took part in the sport\u2019s first inter-club match when they faced Hallam FC, another Sheffield-based club, on Boxing Day in 1860. The \u2018Rules Derby\u2019 lives to this day and the clubs organise regular pre-season friendlies against each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advent of professionalism in the English game saw Sheffield FC experience a decline, but they have since become a staple of the nation\u2019s Non-League Football scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2004, coinciding with FIFA\u2019s centenary celebrations, Sheffield FC, alongside Real Madrid CF, received the Centennial Order of Merit from football\u2019s international governing body as recognition of their contribution to the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club continues to champion local football and works hard to promote the history of football\u2019s early development through initiatives like \u2018The Club of Pioneers\u2019, a global network of clubs featuring the oldest active football teams from each country in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"241\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/fundazioa.athletic-club.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Logo-Sheffield.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18663\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Previous collaborations with UK Non-League Day<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Athletic decided to organise a Basque Non-League Day, we\u2019ve always looked to tie our event with its British counterpart as a nod of respect to the movement\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Athletic have joined up with former English opponents now playing non-professional football, such as Dulwich Hamlet and Civil Service FC, among others, and last season we sent Zurigorri jerseys to several English non-league sides that also play in red-and-white stripes as a home kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>About Euskal Non-League Day<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by the British movement, started by James Doe in 2010, the Athletic Club Foundation is preparing a fourth edition of Euskal Non-League Day for the weekend of March 28-29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-League Day is an initiative that goes to the heart of Athletic Club\u2019s values. In addition to its role in local communities, grassroots football is key to the club\u2019s youth development strategy and Athletic have affiliate agreements with almost 180 teams across the Basque Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Athletic Club is the only side in LaLiga that organises such an event with the purpose of celebrating non-professional football and encouraging attendance at local grounds during the March international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representatives from Athletic Club
