The Istanbul Football League, or originally Constantinople Football Association League, was founded by James La Fontaine and Henry Pears and started with the 1904–05 season with only four teams under the name "Istanbul Sunday League". The matches between the four teams, Moda FC, HMS Imogene FC, Elpis FC, and Cadi-Keuy FC were played on Sundays, leading to the name of the league. Henry Pears, an Englishman and one of the three founders, promised to ultimately award the shield to the club with the most championships won during the 10 years.
