Midland Football Alliance - Definition and Overview

The Midland Football Alliance (also known as the Travel Factory Alliance after its main sponsor) is an English football league covering the West Midlands region.

The league was formed as recently as 1994, to provide a single league for the region with a higher quality of football. Its members were drawn from the Midland Football Combination and the West Midlands (Regional) League, both of which are now feeders to the Midland Alliance. The Leicestershire Senior League is also a feeder league.

The Alliance sits at step 5 of the National League System, the 9th tier in the overall English football league system. It has traditionally been a feeder to the Southern League, but since the restructuring of the Pyramid in 2004 its clubs may be promoted to either the Southern League Division One West or the Northern Premier League Division One.
