I'm assuming the confusion is because the word the French are using for "league" in our sense is championnat. To them the difference between the "championnat" and the Coupe de France is fairly self-explanatory, but not so much to us when it's translated into English.

I figured it was something like that. And the term isn't wrong in English, just has a slightly different common usage.

While I'm at it, we've referred to the CNFA - French Commission National de Football Australien. But I've also seen reference on The Footy Record and in Wikipedia to UFFA - Union Française de Football Australien.

Are they different aspects of the same group?

I think old name vs new name.

UFFA stands for Union Française du Football Australien, which is the old name of the CNFA.
