The Football League is set to be renamed the English Football League for the 2016-17 season

THE Football League will be renamed the English Football League (EFL) at the end of this season.

 

The governing body is undergoing a "comprehensive corporate and competition re-branding" and will be known as the EFL for the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

It will also unveil just its fourth different logo in 127 years to fit in with the re-branding while the three divisional titles - The Championship, League One and League Two - will be retained and incorporated into the new brand.
