Our Name
The name Justice League started as a joke between two friends. While playing ping-pong competitively during free time in College, sometimes during a match there would be a discrepancy as to whether or not the ball was in fact, in or out. So, they used the next match point to determine if that was really the case. Ultimately, they let the ball decide! If the ball turned out to be the opposing what the discrepancy claimed, they would yell "JUSTICE! JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED!". They let the ping-pong Gods be the deciding factor.
For the comic book fans out there, the name is also based on the famous Justice League comics which can be found among the book collection of our founder.
The word "Football" was used because soccer is known internationally as football. Staying true to the game even if it causes some confusion. We are not to be mistaken for American Football!
"Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players using a spherical ball. Association football is the most popular football variant worldwide, and is widely considered to be the most popular sport in the world." reference
