The Green Bay Packers are the oldest team in the history of the NFL. They are also one of the most successful American football teams, having already won four Super Bowls and multiple championships. The club was founded by two friends who, while preparing for its formation, received $500 from the Indian Packing Company to buy equipment, jerseys and organize the team. The year was 1919, August 29th to be exact, when the team played its first friendly match. It did not join the professional league until 1921. The Green Bay Packers have made history in many ways. Their 100-year history of playing in a professional league is strewn not only with achievements but also with the difficulties that every team and organization faces.
