With the playoff picture mostly settled, teams are now jostling for position—but Week 5 still had its share of surprises. The Győr Sharks...

1st Place: Firenze Guelfi The Firenze Guelfi did not play in week 11, therefore they keep their 1st place as the only undefeated team in Italy. They will be looking to avoid losing this title in their week 12 matchup versus the upcoming Ferrara Aquile.

1st – Black Panthers – Thonon-les-Bains Can someone stall the incredible season of the Black Panthers? Nothing seems impossible for them, as they defeated the Molosses. In fact, the first half was largely defensive. The defense from Thonon had Brody Hahn under pressure on nearly every play. The first goosebump moment came from Adel Bafdile — we thought he scored a really cool punt return, but it was declined due to an illegal block in the back (maybe opposing special teams

After only two games were played in week 3 of the BAFA Premiership, this week’s fixtures - including our first glimpse of the 2025 Manchester Titans who have had a significant impact on our rankings. So, starting from the top, let’s jump straight into it:

Over the past few weeks, we got to see some teams from the league go through a dress rehearsal with their new rosters — working through their playbooks and getting both experienced and inexperienced players some in-game reps to prep for the season. And that’s simply all the preseason is for: just getting your team ready and seeing what needs to be corrected. We saw most of the GFL1 teams match up against some of their GFL2 counterparts and got to see some interesting things p

What does it take to win an MVP crown? What does it take to be named one of the best? For us, it’s about consistency, impact, and standing out from the crowd to truly make a name for oneself. And since only a Sith deals in absolutes, here’s a list of players who’ve earned the right to be in the conversation.

The stage is set for an epic battle as Badalona Municipal Stadium prepares to host the LNFA Championship Game this Saturday, May 3rd. Defending champions LG OLED Las Rozas Black Demons will face Spain's most decorated franchise, Badalona Dracs, in what promises to be a historic Spanish Bowl clash. This heavyweight matchup - streaming live on FEFA's YouTube channel - features two contrasting football philosophies battling for national supremacy.

1st Place: Firenze Guelfi What a disappointing result for the Guelfi Firenze, with only 49 points scored they finished below their average of 50.4 points per game. Obviously that was a joke, the Guelfi keep on being the most dominant team in the IFL this season with a 49-17 win over the Lazio Marines, who just defeated the #2 seed Giaguari Torino. The usual suspect, and probable 2025 IFL MVP Andrea Fimiani had yet again another 3 passing - 3 rushing touchdowns performance, w

Three weeks into the Hungarian Football League season, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of where each team stands. While some contenders are already finding their rhythm, others are still searching for answers.. This week brought dominant performances, surprising improvements, and a few familiar struggles. From special teams disasters to breakout stars, here’s how all seven teams stack up after Week 2. 1st. Diósd Saints: Against the Wolves, the Saints finally showed

With only three games played in week 2 of the BAFA Premiership, and no shocking results. There hasn’t been much movement, so without further ado, let’s get into this week’s action. No Movement at the Top The big question coming into this week was whether the Bristol Aztecs (#2) would choose to prioritize this weekend’s big CEFL first round fixture against the Amsterdam Crusaders, and allow key starters to take a step back and rest during this week’s mismatch with the Rushmo

1st. Black Panthers – Thonon-les-Bains This team continues to impress with another dominant performance, picking up right where they left off last week. Offensively, they are nearly unstoppable — marching down the field with confidence and precision. Every drive seemed to showcase their versatility. Whether through the air or on the ground, they found ways to break through the Northern Division defenses. On the other side of the ball, the defense set the tone and never let u

1st Place: Firenze Guelfi The Guelfi Firenze are the only undefeated team left in the IFL, they are the highest scoring offense with 50.6 points per game, to put that in perspective the second team has a 35.1 average. Let’s highlight the future MVP of the 2025 season too, Andrea Fimiani, the most efficient QB in the IFL right now and he’s the best rushing player with 147 yards per game! Yes, you read that right, 147 yards rushed on average per game! He’s reached over 1000 y

1st. Calanda Broncos The Broncos won with a statement win in the top duel against Basel. With a 48-6 win, the highly anticipated top game never got exciting. And Chur did it all with backup QB Max Gray, who scored two passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. DB Patrick Grand had a pick six and another interception. The Broncos confirmed their role as favorites for the season. It remains to be seen how long starting QB Robin Sehnlich will be out. The CEFL campaign wi

The 2025 season of the Turkish American Football League (TKFL) has started, bringing new excitement and competition to the field. Week 1 had strong performances, smart plays, and gave us a first look at which teams might stand out this year. Here's how the teams rank after the first week:

The European League of Football is a breeding ground for some of the most competitive athletes in the world—men who, for the simple love of the game, are willing to sacrifice their bodies without the need for large contracts, full stadiums, or sponsorship deals. Most of the homegrown talent in the ELF double as teachers, doctors, tradesmen, and other working professionals, while the A-imports often hold part-time jobs during the offseason and find ways to coach and stay conne

The top end of our first-ever power ranking from Britain almost writes itself, with last year’s finalists both recording sizable shutout wins on the road to kick off their respective 2025 campaigns. As reigning champions—retaining the vast majority of that championship squad, including star QB Dee Williams, and having not recorded a regular season defeat since July 2023—the London Warriors are the clear choice at #1. However, considering that defeat came at the hands of a Bri

The most decorated team in LNFA history secured their spot in the championship with a commanding 33-13 victory and now aims to reclaim supremacy against LG OLED Black Demons. Badalona, June 13, 2025 – The Badalona Dracs left no room for doubt. With precise execution and a relentless defense, the Catalan squad defeated Osos Rivas 33-13 in the Spanish National Football League (LNFA) semifinals, booking their ticket to their 19th championship appearance—their first since 2021

The team from northwest Madrid made a statement after rolling over the Terrassa Reds, who you may remember as the surprise team of the year. The Black Demons won easily at home 35-0 to continue their quest to achieve a three-peat.

First Down Mag is now covering the Romanian CNFA too, make sure you're up to date with this one too!!

With the matchup between Terrassa and Badalona the regular season of the LNFA comes to an end; the playoffs are set, a team is relegated...
