„The fans deserve a seat at the table! With preparations for the 2027 season already underway, we are taking an important step towards putting our fans at the heart of the EFA“, says EFA President, Markus Kuhn.

Every franchise will select one to two fan representatives to join the council, giving the most important part of our league a dedicated voice.

From the gameday experience to the atmosphere in our stadiums, the content we create and the way we continue to grow the game, we want to hear what matters to the people who make this league what it is.

Each team will be driving their selection process and sharing more details on how to get involved soon!

Shouldn't we be sitting at the table too?
As a Reddit delegation, perhaps?
Or as an Eurohuddle delegation?

Coach James Brooks has made the decision to step down as our head football coach to accept an opportunity with another program.

We are deeply grateful for Coach Brooks’ hard work, leadership and dedication during his time with us. We wish him and his family the absolute best in his next chapter.

At the same time we are excited to announce the promotion of offensive coordinator Dave Warner as our new head football coach. Coach Warner brings years of experience, and a strong track record of winning and leadership to our team. And we look forward to a smooth transition as we prepare for next season

Vikings owner Robin Lumsden told ORF that he is open to discussing a merger of the leagues: "We have extended our hand. If we sit down at a table, we will find an exciting solution."

This was reported, among other places, by the Rheinische Post in their article:

If the Vikings are feeling generous, they'll reschedule the two semifinals between Rhein Fire and the other team to Sunday, August 30th.

MSV Duisburg plays on Saturday at 2:00 PM CEST, and the semifinal on Sunday starts at 3:10 PM CEST, according to the AFLE website.

Based on last year's experience with the ELF Semifinals Vikings against the Nordic Storm, where First Vienna FC 1894 had played men's and women's soccer matches the day before, it's clear that this isn't enough to host a football game day.

Nothing worked at the Vikings' event, from the entrance to the Wi-Fi, which was needed for the beverage vendors' cash registers, meaning no drinks could be served (not even for cash, because the tax authorities had to have online access to the cash register and print a receipt for the customer).

Zoom-Meeting with Jim Tomsula, the President of AFLE at 8th July 2026, 6:30 PM CEST.

There's no set agenda, and no topic is off-topic. Imagine sitting down together at a table: talk to Jim, ask what's on your mind, or simply enjoy good company. The discussion is open to everyone – just come as you are and bring your questions.
