History
The Premier League was founded in 1992 and is owned by 20 shareholders - the member clubs, whose membership in the league is dependent upon the performance of their football team in The Premier League. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote at the quarterly meeting. The Football Association is also a special shareholder as, like every other league in England, The Premier League comes under the jurisdiction of the Football Association (The FA). The Premier League is widely regarded as the elite club competition in the football world.
