Nordic Storm is a new addition, the Milano Seamen are taking a one-year break and returning in 2026, and the Barcelona Dragons are leaving the European League of Football.
“The ELF has grown rapidly since it was founded four years ago, but is still a young league. In a franchise system, it is completely normal and not surprising that the locations develop differently. Many different factors play a role. Our goal of 24 teams in the final expansion stage remains unchanged. Our ultimate goal is to offer fans an attractive product and a competitive league in every respect. That’s why, in addition to expansion, we are placing greater emphasis on the quality of the teams. We learned that from last season.” – Zeljko Karajica
