Lingerie
Football League, LLC. (or ‘LFL’) officials have named Ladies Gridiron
League (or ‘LGL’) based out of Sydney, Australia the LFL’s first-ever
official minor league.
The
Ladies Gridiron League (LGL) was originally modeled off the success of
the LFL and to bring awareness of American Football to the Australian
Culture. “We are extremely excited to partner with one of the fastest
growing sports league not only in the US but potentially the world. This
association provides the LGL with instant credibility in Australia
while providing the LFL with a better prepared athlete,” said Adrian
Brown LGL Founder.
The
LGL will work with LFL officials in the football operational build-out
of LFL Australia across Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. LFL
Australia is set to officially kickoff December 2013 having already
named its New South Wales Surge franchise.
More minor leagues associations across Canada and US are expected over the coming year.
LFL
officials have been very focused on building the sport internationally
in 2012 which includes the debut of LFL Canada and news that the LFL is
now seen in more countries around the world than the National Football
League (NFL).
“What
started as simply a US focus and sport, is now evolving and translating
well to a global audience. Groups like the LGL that are compromised of
great individuals that are obviously part of the local culture will be
instrumental in the growth of our sport beyond the US borders”, said,
Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman, Lingerie Football League,
LLC.
Alongside
LFL United States, LFL Canada and LFL Australia planS are underway to
launch LFL Europa in 2014 or 2015 with interest growing in league play
in Mexico and South America.
The
LFL will host its first-ever World Bowl to be played alongside the 2014
World Cup in Sao Paulo, Brazil featuring the champions of LFL US, LFL
Canada and LFL Australia.
