IFL Power Ranking - Week 12
1. Guelfi Firenze
Another great victory for Guelfi Firenze, this time at the home of a direct rival, Frogs Legnano, mathematically securing first place in the playoff standings.
The 48-24 final score was perhaps predicted by some, but even against the big teams, the Tuscans are prepared, and now they can dream big.
After the match against the Warriors Bologna the following weekend, thoughts turn to a season finale that could bring not one, but two major trophies.
In fact,

IFL Power Ranking - Week 10
1. Guelfi Firenze
The Guelfi continued their winning streak with a crucial 42-7 home win over the Lazio Marines. The Tuscans have gone eighteen consecutive games without defeat between the Regular Season and the Playoffs since last year in the Italian Football League.
The game was settled in the first half for the league leaders, who, with their 6-0 record, officially qualified for the playoff semifinals. For them, the only thing left to do is decide whether they will finis

IFL Power Ranking - Week 9
1. Guelfi Firenze
Even in a remake of the last Italian Bowl, Guelfi managed to take control, winning 51-17 against Dolphins Ancona.
The tie lasted only one quarter, the first, which ended 14-14, before the Viola began to put the fifth quarter into effect, matching their winning streak this year.
A win against Lazio Marines next week could secure direct qualification to the semifinals, a step closer for the league's top favorite. However, the threat of too many matches in a

IFL Power Ranking - Week 8
1. Guelfi Firenze Despite the Bye Week, the Guelfi still won in Week 8. The Frogs Legnano's loss at the Dolphins Ancona allows the Tuscans to remain alone at the top of the Italian Football League standings, undefeated. The next match will be against the Dorics, who are coming off three consecutive wins and are currently among the hottest teams in the IFL. While the goal in Italy will be to defend first place, the European plans have become clearer this weekend. In fact, the

IFL Power Ranking - Week 7
1. Guelfi Firenze
Guelfi Firenze's journey toward a back-to-back title continues in Ferrara with yet another strong performance from Coach Fabrizio Bocci's team.
The Tuscans defeated Aquile Ferrara on the road 40-12, putting their purple Ferrari in fourth gear as they race toward the Italian Bowl and, perhaps, something more important.
Meanwhile, four wins in as many games allow the Florentines to once again achieve their playoff goal and dream of another title that would c

Wild Card Weekend Turns One-Sided in French D1 Playoffs
The French D1 playoffs opened with a clear message from two contenders: when the stakes rise, so does their level. In wild card weekend action, the Flash de La Courneuve and the Blue Stars de Marseille delivered statement victories to punch their tickets to the semifinals.
At La Courneuve, the scoreline eventually became brutal, but the game did not begin that way. Facing the Grizzlys Catalans for the second straight postseason, the Flash were surprisingly shaken early. A bo

The 2026 campaign delivered dominant defenses, dramatic comebacks, breakout players, rebuilding projects, and one of the most impressive undefeated runs the league has seen in recent memory.

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
