no, football ''is'' a professional sport.  Some countries may not be able to fund it professionally, in which case such leagues are not notable.  The US has one professional league, the Major League Soccer|Major League, and it is only that league in which appearances confer notability.  As I said on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pat Phelan|Pat Phelan's AfD, you've misread .  It says either "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis", which Nyarko fails, or "Competitors and coaches who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them)" for which Nyarko is inelligible as football is a professional sport
