About
The Central European Football League was a AA (3rd Level) European American Football League which operated from 2006 to the present (at time of writing) with the first 11 years as a AAA League based in the Balkans and Central European countries which formed the Soviet Block, Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungarian Empire of the 20th Century, due to there being not enough teams in each country for their own league prior to 2017.
Since 2017 the CEFL Championship has operated as a AA (3rd Level) Regional Mini-League in Central Europe, stretching from Moscow in Russia in the East, Istanbul in Turkey in the South, Thonon in South-East France in the West and Wroclaw in Poland in the North, while the CEFL Cup has operated as a A Level (4th Level) Regional Mini-League or Cup in the same areas, but primarily in the Balkan countries .
