The European League of Football just finished its fourth season. It is now time to figure out what teams will move in the right direction for the fifth season in 2025! Will it be teams with previous losing records emerging as contenders? Will Rhein Fire stay dominant? Who are the best players coming into the season?

Those are questions that you may ask yourself and we are here to give you the best possible answer! If you have a question and want it to be answered in a future article, please look out on the league’s social channels every Friday.

We guess your question is directed to a tie in wins or losses! So far, the European League of Football has operated along the following rules in this case: 

1.     Head-to-head matchup;

2.     Points difference in head-to-head matchups;

3.     Points scored in head-to-head matchups;

4.     Points scored at away games of head-to-head matchups;

5.     Total points difference;

6.     Total points scored;

7.     Points scored at away games;

8.     Coin toss performed by the Commissioner, or a person determined by the Commissioner.

If two teams have the same record but did not play against each other in the regular season, the total point difference would be the first indicator!

Just over a year ago in March, our CEO Zeljko Karajica announced the goal of having 24 teams from 15 different countries in Europe playing in the European League of Football. 

So far, the European League of Football grew from season to season with different teams joining each offseason. This year, we already announced the “Nordic Storm” from Malmö and Copenhagen to join the league. This increases the number of teams to 18 and the number of represented countries to ten.
