Report

The United States Air Force in Europe (USAFE) Continental Sports Conference France District title was won by Toul Tigers (1956 to 1957), Laon Rangers again (1958) and SHAPE Indians (1959 to 1960), after which the France District was merged into the Continental Sports Conference along with the teams based in Germany.

The United States Air Force in Europe Football League (USAFE – pronounced “You-Safe”) was the League for Air Force Personnel stationed at Cold War Military Bases in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy & Greece.

There were three Conferences: UK Sports Conference, Continental Sports Conference (Germany & France) and Mediterranean Sports Conference (Italy & Greece). While the MSC was a competitive Conference, the Finals were usually played between the Winners of the UKSC and the CSC.

Following the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the USAFE Football League was discontinued and the only US Military Football now played in the UK is High School Football at Lakenheath, London Central (High Wycombe), Alconbury & Menwith Hill. [1]

The United States ARmy EURope played a separate League (USAREUR). [6]

The Ramstein Rams, Alconbury Spartans, Burtonwood Bullets & Weathersfield Raiders of the UK Sports Conference except the RamsteinR Rams (Continental Sports Conference) all played matches in Ireland, including one at Croke Park in aid of the Irish Red Cross. [3-7]

Reykjavik Einherjar Icelandic American Football Season 2016-17 [Ref: 1-2]

Report

Iceland’s sole American Football team, Reykjavik Einherjar, played two games over 2016-17, losing narrowly by one point to Eidsvoll 1814s, one of Norway’s top teams, and then defeating German Division 5 side Starnberg Argonauts 48-14. Quarterback Bergbor Phillip Palsson was the driving force behind the team.

To top off a great year for Iceland’s only American Football Team, the Reykjavik einherjar, the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings paid them a visit. The Icelandic team finished the 2017-18 season with a 2-2 record, losing to England’s Ouse Valley Eagles and Austria’s Carinthian Lions, but defeating Spanish Division 1 side Mallorca Voltors and Swedish Semi-Finalists Uppsala 86ers.

Rejkjavik Einherjar, Iceland’s only American Football Team, just got better and better in their third season, 2018-19. After destroying Germany’s Cologne Falcons 50-0, and then triumphing confortably, 56-22 over Sweden’s Tryeso Royal Crowns, they faced their stiffest test yet, when they travelled to New York to take on Semi-Pro side Empire State Wolfpack, losing 36-7. They then finished the season with a 28-42 loss to Finland’s Runners-Up, Kuopio Steelers.
