A Championhip For Sale!
The controversy had erupted days before the game. In that grey, murky area that social media so often becomes, the announcement of the Spanish Bowl venue was met with attacks on the Spanish American Football Federation (FEFA) and accusations of favouritism and lack of transparency.
But let us start at the beginning, if it is even possible to establish a clear starting point in a controversy that has overshadowed (or at least managed to divert attention from) Las Rozas Black

Top 10 Jerseys in Spain
The Spanish LNFA is on the rise and with the focus now on the playoffs, this is more of a laid-back ranking paying tribute to the best uniforms in the Mediterranean country.
The 2026 regular season of the LNFA has been one of the most competitive and balanced we have ever seen. After 40 games, 29 were decided by 15 points or less, meaning 72,5% or almost 3 out every 4 games was up for grabs deep in the 4th quarter.
Even more impressive is that 16 of those 40 games ended wit

WTF is going on in Spain?!
This is the most competitive season the LNFA has seen in decades, marked by the first loss of Las Rozas Black Demons in 2 years, who has recently fell against the Osos de Rivas.

LNFA POWER RANKINGS (SLIGHTLY POST) MID-SEASON
1. BLACK DEMONS
Staying unbeaten through the first half of the season in a league that has shown just how balanced it is from top to bottom is no small feat. Black Demons have made it crystal clear that they are the team everyone else is chasing, and at this point it would be a real shock if they did not finish first in the conference.
2. REDS
Sitting on top of the brutal East Conference is more than enough to justify the No. 2 spot. They survived a real scare against a r

THE FIRST LNFA POWER RANKINGS OF THE YEAR
1. LG OLED BLACK DEMONS
The reigning champions sit alone atop the West Conference and remain the team everyone has to beat. Built around a strong Spanish core—largely the nucleus of the Madrid Bravos—plus a top-tier trio of running backs, they’re still the benchmark.
2. OSOS RIVAS
Paradoxically, this week’s loss to Black Demons has pushed Osos up to No. 2 in the rankings. The encouraging signs from a high-octane second half earn them this spot on merit.
3. TERRASSA REDS

İTÜ HORNETS — INTERVIEW WITH HEAD COACH AHMET ÖZMEN
We've now won four championships in the university league, and in that arena we've long been a college team playing football at the very top level. In past years, though, as a club we struggled to carry that success over to the pro league. Even though the 2022 pro semifinal was a huge blow for us, I'd say it was the game that fueled our ambition and made us more determined than any other. But reducing the four championships won over the last two years — across both the pro an
