Britain’s top football programme is getting the chance to test itself against some of the best teams in Northern Europe. Due to divisions in the International Federation of American Football (IFAF), leading to the different factions flexing their organisational muscles, the London Warriors will have the opportunity to lock horns with The Copenhagen Towers, Carlstad Crusaders, Uppsala 86ers

Are we still talking Double Dutch? In the 2014 BUCS season the Stirling Clansmen went undefeated, claiming the National title in a gritty title clinching battle with the Birmingham Lions. At the helm of the offence was their talismanic quarterback, Luis “Dutch” Stephenson. Famed for his bravado and distinctive golden “mullet” he delivered on his promise to secure the title, and

One of the UK’s top young quarterback talents is bucking the current trend and will be playing in the BAFA senior league this season. At a time when a wave of talented British players are moving into Europe to further their careers, Callum Davidson will be returning to Britain having had two successful seasons overseas, and will be lining up under centre for the Sandwell Steelers in

BAFA’s head of development for women’s football is Jim Messenger, a Britball veteran from the eighties, he has worked tirelessly to champion the women’s game. He has developed and implemented a structure that encourages participation, facilitates competitive play and has led to the national tackle team being invited to the IFAF World Championships being held in Canada in June, as the

Well I’m sorry to be the one to tell you, but if you haven’t had your invite by now, you aint getting one. There are however, 330 top college footballers who have been invited, and will be making their way to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis come February 28th. They will be there to showcase their talent in front of the NFL’s General Managers and coaches. Over seven days they will undergo

Two of Britball’s top women players have just returned from Florida where they took part in a training camp that turned out to be, the experience of a football lifetime. Linebacker Phoebe Schecter (Birmingham Lions) and receiver Oli Davies (Hertfordshire Tornadoes), who are both members of the GB Lions squad, joined players from twenty countries at The Women’s World Football Games. The

With The 2016 British Senior Season Firmly In The Rear View Mirror, The Committee At The Tamworth Phoenix Sat Down To Review What They Had Achieved. They Analysed It, Appraised It, Dissected It, Dismantled It, And Then Created Their Strategy For The Upcoming 2017 Campaign. Had 2016 Been Successful?

American Football in continental Europe is doing all right, thank you very much. With over 500 competitive teams, spread across 32 national federations, it is a hotbed of Footballing activity. The most established leagues tend to be in the countries that started playing in the early eighties, Germany, Italy, Austria , Finland and France, although Poland now have an extensive footprint.

With the continued popularity of the International series games, the talk is that it is only a matter of time before the league expands, and takes up residence in the capital. To gauge the likelihood of it happening, let’s jump into the FAUK DeLorean and slide back

I recently attended the GB Lions trials in Sheffield, not (as you may think) because the team are looking for a “veteran” tight end, with elite level measurables, but to check-in with the Lions head coach, Mike Callan. Following their success in the group B European Championship qualifying games last October, where they convincingly despatched Russia and then Czechia, coach Callan has
