History

[edit | edit source]

In 2014, the IFAF Europe Champions League was formed in the same year the BIG6 European Football League initiated in taking the place of the Eurobowl tournament. The format involved 13 teams from Europe. The Group Stage format borrowed from the IFAF World Championship while the Final Four format came from the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.

After the 2016 season the competition was replaced by the IFAF Northern European Football League 2017. The number of participating teams was reduced to 5, all from Northern Europe.[1]
