NFL Europe/World League (WLAF)
History 1991-2007 (17 seasons)
The World League of American Football (WLAF), later renamed the NFL Europe League, began in 1991. It was backed by the National Football League (NFL) and each season culminated with the World Bowl. The World League of American Football was founded in 1989 to serve as a type of spring league. Seven of the ten teams were based in North America, and the other three in Europe. This format lasted for two seasons, with no league in 1993–94. The WLAF returned in 1995 with six teams, all in Europe, and in 1998 the league was rebranded as NFL Europe. On June 29, 2007, NFL officials announced that the NFL Europe league would be disbanded effective immediately.
