Futbol Americano de Mexico Regular Season Results 2019 [Ref: 2]

Report

Futbol Americano Mexico (FAM) was started in 2018, playing its first season in 2019, as a rival to the Liga Futbol Americano Profesional (LFA) in Mexico. It was the first league other than the NFL to play by NFL rules, with the exception of overtime, which is by NCAA rules. All other leagues outside of America, bar the Canadian Football League (which has its own rules) are played under NCAA rules. [Ref: 4]

Pioneros de Queretaro won the first FAM Final, defeating Centauros de Ciudad Juarez 16-0. Pioneros thus won what was essentially a promotion to the ranks of the LFA for 2020. The regular season was very competitive, with no team finishing better than 5-3 and no team worse than 3-5. Four of the five teams made the playoffs: Pionerors de Queretaro beat Titanes CDMX 13-12 in a close encounter in the second semi-final, while in the first, Centauros de Ciudad Juarez, ranked second for the playoffs due to a ruling from the administration, beat Bulldogs de Naucalpan 22-14 in the first semi-final.

Tequileros de Jalisco and Caudillos de Chihuahua were leading the two divisions at the time of the cessation.

Report

The National Football League folded the NFL Europe League after 17 years in 2007 to focus on promoting the NFL in Europe through the International Series of Games in London, with the intention of putting a team there by 2022.

In this second scenario for World American Football, a number of teams break away from the NFL due to some controversy (such as allowing Women players – a female kicker has been training with the Colts recently), and form their own league, moving to countries outside the United States e.g. Rome Cardinals, London Ravens, Paris Bengals, Toronto Bills, Mexico City Browns, and are joined by new teams in America (The World Football League uses old WFL team names from the 1970s: The Hawaiians, Southern California Sun etc).

Two Conferences are created: the International Conference and World Conference. The teams named above are placed in the International Conference, and World Conference includes the Atlantic Claymores (Dublin-Glasgow), Stockholm Nordic Vikings, Delhi Defenders, Cape Town Lions, and old “Outlaw” league teams, Providence Steamroller, Omaha Mustangs and Austin Texans.

With the creation of the United Football League with the X and United Football Conferences, this leaves 3 Pro American Football Leagues, with 6 Conferences: each having 12 teams.

The Scottish Claymores are resurrected as the Atlantic Claymores (Dublin & Glasgow)

Report

Eirball has taken a brief break from the Past Archive to take a look at what might be when the National Football League places teams around the World like it has promised. Eirball thinks rather than creating new teams it will move teams which haven’t found a home in America to places such as Europe (Rome Cardinals, Berlin Colts), Canada (Toronto Bills), Mexico (Mexico City Browns), Australia (Sydney Rams), and Japan (Tokyo Chargers).

In response somebody like Vince McMahon, who has an awful lot of money, and has created the XFL rival to the NFL, could resurrect some of the teams that the NFL has got rid of (Houston Oilers, Brooklyn Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, Oakland Raiders), and set up a rival league to the NFL, and perhaps force a merger. In this scenario he has also resurrected some of the other “Outlaw” league teams such as the New Jersey Generals, San Antonio Toros, Portland Breakers, as well as bringing back the Claymores (now a Dublin-Glasgow team), the England Monarchs and Rome Gladiators.

The Scottish Claymores wold be resurrected as the Atlantic Claymores – a Dublin & Glasgow team. [Ref: 1]

Report

The World Series of Pro Football was a brief attempt at determining the “World Champions” of American Football that lasted two seasons from 1902 to 1903. It was played as a tournament rather than league, featuring four to five teams.

The first World Series featured five teams: Syracuse AC, New York Knickerbockers, Warlow AC, Orange (New Jersey) AC and a team named New York that was actually made up of players from the Phillies and Athletics from Philadelphia. Syracuse AC won the Series.

The second World series in 1903 was won by Franklin AC of Pennsylvania, with the Oreos AC (Asbury Park, New Jersey), Watertown Red and Blacks and Orange AC the other competing teams.

Note: (FOL) = Proposed Fan Ownership League City.

Report

The International Football Federation was a proposed AAA rival league to the National Football League that intended to begin play in March 2000. It had no formal ownership, and no TV contract, and lasted just one press conference.

15 Cities were reported to be in the deal, with Mexico City a possibility also, but the formation of the XFL, and its multi-million dollar TV contract with NBC put and end to the league.

According to Marty York of the Toronto Globe, Toronto Turbos, Boston Revolution and Connecticut Patriots were the rumoured names of three of the teams, and the league had intended to have a $4 Million salary cap, with most players paid no more than $85,000 per year.

The Fan Ownership League was a brief attempt by United States Football League founder Dave Dixon to start another Major League / AAA rival American Football League to the NFL.

It had four planned cities: Seattle, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Washington DC, but the emergence of another rival league, the International Football Federation, saw the two leagues consider merging, although it was a third league, the XFL, with its multi-million dollar NBC TV contract which put an end to both leagues.

Report

The European Federation of American Football / European Football League Eurobowl was the Champions League of American Football in Europe from 1986 to 2014. The Winners of each of the European National Leagues got to compete in the tournament, which was run by the European Football League from 1986 to 1994, and then after the expulsion of Great Britain in 1995, by the European Federation of American Football. It was superseded in 2015 by the IFAF Europe Big 6 European Football League.

Finnish teams were the earliest winners of the Eurobowl, with TAFT Vantaa and Helsinki Roosters winning in 1986 and 1988. Italian team Legnano Frogs, from Milan won in 1989, and in 1990, Britain’s Manchester Spartans won. Amsterdam Crusaders brought the title to the Netherlands in 1991 and 1992, and the following two years they were brought back to Britain by the London Olympians. A run of five German, victories in a row followed: Duesseldorf Panther (1995), Hamburg Blue Devils (1996-1998) and Braunschweig Lions (1999).

Bergamo Lions won the Eurobowl three years in succession from 2000 to 2002, and the followed a German-Austrian dominance, with Braunschweig Lions winning in 2003, followed by six Austrian victories in a row: Vienna Vikings (2004-2007) and Tirol Raiders from Innsbruck (2008-2009). Berlin Adler won in 2010, Tirol Raiders again in 2011, Calanda Broncos from the tiny Rhaetian-speaking Swiss canton of Graubunden / Grissons in 2012, and another Vienna Vikings win in 2014.

Berlin Adler won the last EFAF Eurobowl for Germany in 2014, after which the top competition for European American Football clubs became the IFAF Europe Big 6 European Football League. The Eurobowl was won four years in succession (2015-2018) by the Braunshweig New Yorker Lions during the IFAFE Big 6 era, before Potsdam Royals, another German team convincingly won it in 2019.

Irish teams competed from 1988 to 1992 (Dublin Celts and Craigavon Cowboys), before the American Football association of Ireland resigned its seat in the EFL due to money concerns, along with a host of other European countries [Ref: 12]. It reapplied to the new EFAF in 1994 and after protracted struggles over the running of the game in Ireland was eventually readmitted in the early 2000s, under the new administration of the Irish American Football Association.

Report

In 2015, the International Federation of American Football Europe (IFAFE) superseded the European Federation of American Football (EFAF) as the governing body of American Football in Europe, and the Eurobowl became a competition for the Big 6, with the European Football League becoming the second level European Club Championship, replacing the EFAF Cup (European Federation of American Football).

The competition has been dominated by the Braunshweig New Yorker Lions, from Germany, who won the Eurobowl four years in succession from 2015 to 2018, beating fellow Germans, Schwaebish Hall Unicorns in 2015, Austrian team Swarco Raiders Tirol, from Innsbruck in 2016, and Frankfurt Samsung Universe, also from Germany in 2017 and 2018.

The 2019 edition became a one-off Final between the Amsterdam Crusaders, who had played an International-only schedule in 2018, compiling a 2-6 record against some of the best teams in Europe, and the Potsdam Royals of the German Football League, after scheduling conflicts meant the top German and Austrian teams, who would normally compete in the Big 6, did not enter. The Potsdam Royals won Eurobowl XXXIII 62-12.
