On January 19, 1958 the Canadian Football Council withdrew from the Canadian Rugby Union and renamed itself the Canadian Football League. The league hit the field in August as a nine club league. The league had functioned as two organizations the year before, the Western Interprovincial Football Union and the Interprovincial Football Union. The two organizations would met for the Grey Cup. The two organizations had ruled the Canadian Football game since 1955 when the Ontario Rugby Football Union folded the season before. The WIFU had played since 1936 and the IFU and played since 1930. The league continues to be a prosperous league and expects lots of growth in the coming years.
