Morphology
The meaning 'an organized competition' is directly derived from combining 'football' (the sport) with 'league' (an organization that runs competitions). This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Football league comes from teams forming a league, a 'group' that meets to play each other and keeps a table of points. So Football league means 'an organized competition in which football teams play against each other'.
