The European League of Football’s South division will be one to watch in 2025 as it features the Raiders Tirol, Madrid Bravos, Munich Ravens, and Helvetic Mercenaries. Three of the South division teams know each other well as they were part of last year’s Central Conference with exception of Madrid Bravos coming over from the 2024 Western Conference. The addition of the Bravos to this group makes the South division perhaps one of the league's most exciting too watch next year.
