About Our League
For the Players, Fans, and Communities
The International Football Alliance (IFA) is launching a new era of professional American football in the summer of 2025, with teams located in the United States. We are also proud to have a strong presence in Mexico, with our first international team based in Chihuahua. Looking ahead, we are expanding to the great city of Little Rock in 2026 as we continue to grow our footprint.
Our Driving Points
Our Mission
The IFA is bridging the gap in international professional football by delivering high-caliber American football across key regions in the U.S. and Mexico. We operate under NFL-based rules and standards to provide a competitive, professional, and unified football experience. Our goal is to build a true international alliance—one league, united by the love of the game, without borders.
Community-Focused
We believe communities are the foundation of every team’s success. That’s why the IFA is committed to rooting each team within its local community—no hub cities, no disconnect. From youth outreach and local events to charitable efforts, our teams will be active and engaged.
For the Fans
Fans are the heartbeat of the IFA. From thrilling game day experiences to behind-the-scenes access and year-round engagement, we’re putting fans first. This league is for you—and we’re excited to have you on this journey with us.
Elite Coaches & Hungry Players
IFA teams are led by experienced professional coaches with backgrounds in the NFL, CFL, XFL, and USFL. These leaders bring championship pedigrees, mentoring experience, and the ability to develop talent at the highest level.
Our players will be a dynamic mix of college prospects, seasoned veterans, and underdog talents who are ready to prove they belong on the pro stage.
Bringing the Competition
Every IFA game is designed to be fast, exciting, and competitive. With elite coaching, dedicated athletes, and passionate fans, our games will deliver top-tier action that raises the bar for international professional football.
