The 17th (Service) Battalion, Middlesex Regiment was an infantry battalion of the Middlesex Regiment, part of the British Army, which was formed as a Pals battalion during the Great War. The core of the battalion was a group of professional footballers, which was the reason for its most commonly used name, The Football Battalion (also the footballers' or players' battalion). The 23rd (Service) Battalion, Middlesex Regiment was formed in June 1915 and became known as the 2nd Football Battalion. The battalions fought in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 among others. Soldiers who fought in the 17th and 23rd Battalions included Second Lieutenant Walter Tull, who was possibly the first black infantry officer in the British Army.

(en) Batalhão dos Futebolistas foi um exército formado por jogadores profissionais de futebol, e também torcedores de equipes inglesas, que lutou na Primeira Guerra Mundial. O alistamento em massa de futebolistas era apoiado pela Football Association, como uma maneira de diminuir as críticas pelo fato de partidas serem disputadas enquanto a guerra ocorria. Além disso, à época, o futebol já era encarado como algo culturalmente relevante no Reino Unido, e por isso foi amplamente usado para recrutar soldados nos fronts. Os futebolistas eram usados como propaganda e atraiam os adeptos dos clubes onde jogavam para o campo de batalha. “Venham ao jogo mais importante, juntem-se ao Batalhão do Futebol”, exortava um cartaz de recrutamento.
