LLFA 2017

LLFA 2017 was the thriteenth and last season of the league of Football with the same name. 19 teams played in that season: Mexico City Hawks, Buenos Aires Titans, Toluca Hell, Guadalajara Falcons, Merida Buccaners, Rio Canaries, Medelin Bears, Ceara Coyotes, Monterrey Lions, Porto Alegre Braves, São Paulo Wolves, Belo Horizonte Thunder, São Paulo Warriors, Mexico City Mayos, Assunción Eternals, Tijuana Black Panthers, Panama City Auburn, Montevideo City Solars and Quayaquil Celestials.

The North Champions were the Guadalajara Falcons, the South Champions were the São Paulo Wolves and the Latino Bowl winner was São Paulo.

The reasons why the LLAF was folded are two: Lack of audience and teams leaving due to the Mexican-Brazilian hergemony. Based on the success of the league in these two countries. the NFL International created the LFAM (Liga de Fútbol Americano de México) and CBFA (Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Americano). Other leagues reuniting former members of LLAF were created but they weren't recognized as official leagues by the NFL International. The failure of LLAF made Liga Latina end its partnership with the NFL, as a result a majority of Football teams owned by LL franchises were ended, with only a few exceptions.
