The landscape of professional American football in Europe is undergoing significant changes with the emergence of the European Football Alliance (EFA) and the ongoing developments within the European League of Football (ELF). The EFA, announced in July 2025, aims to create a new competitive environment for teams dissatisfied with the current structure of the ELF, which has faced criticism regarding financial stability and transparency. Amidst these developments, the Nordic Storm has addressed rumors about its departure from the EFA, reaffirming its commitment to the growth of American football in Europe and its dedication to working collaboratively with partners for the sport’s future.

Nordic Storm remains fully committed to the continued development of professional American football in Europe and is actively engaged in constructive dialogue with our partners to ensure the best possible framework for the sport’s future.

Our focus remains on building a strong and sustainable future for the game, our players, and our fans.
