  • The Arena Football League (AFL) was a professional arena football league in the United States. It was founded in 1986, but played its first official games in the 1987 season, making it the third longest-running professional football league in North America after the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the National Football League (NFL) until the AFL closed in 2019. The AFL played a formerly proprietary code known as arena football, a form of indoor American football played on a 66-by-28 yard field (about a quarter of the surface area of an NFL field), with rules encouraging offensive performance, resulting in a typically faster-paced and higher-scoring game compared to NFL games. The sport was invented in the early 1980s and patented by Jim Foster, a former executive of the United States Football League (USFL) and the NFL. Each of the league's 32 seasons culminated in the ArenaBowl, with the winner being crowned the league's champion for that season. From 2000 to 2009, the AFL had its own developmental league, the af2. The AFL played 22 seasons from 1987 to 2008; internal issues caused the league to cancel its 2009 season, though the af2 did play. Later that year both the AFL and af2 were dissolved and reorganized as a new corporation comprising teams from both leagues, and the AFL returned in 2010. The league's average game attendance after returning in 2010 was approximately 9,500. The league historically had a nationwide footprint, and was recognized as the most prominent professional indoor football league in North America, offering higher payment, more widespread media exposure, and a longer history than competing leagues. From a high of 19 teams in 2007, the league contracted to a low of four teams in 2018, all in the northeastern United States. There were six teams playing in 2019, the league's final season. On October 29, 2019, league commissioner Randall Boe confirmed reports that the league had discontinued operating teams in local markets for the 2020 season. Four weeks later on November 27, league commissioner Boe announced via Twitter that the league as a whole had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, dissolving the league for the second time. (en)
  • Arena Football League fue una liga de fútbol americano en campo cubierto que se disputa en Estados Unidos de 1987 a 2008 y 2010 a 2019. El juego se desarrolla en un estadio bajo techo, típicamente de baloncesto o hockey sobre hielo, más pequeño que el fútbol americano o canadiense al aire libre, lo que resulta en un juego más rápido y de mayor puntuación. Se disputó de abril a agosto, durante el verano boreal y el descanso de la National Football League. En noviembre de 2019, el comisionado declaró el fin de la liga, declarándose en bancarrota tras acogerse al Capítulo 7 de la estadounidense. (es)
  • L'Arena Football League (AFL) est fondée en 1987 pour gérer et organiser un championnat de football américain en salle aux États-Unis. Créée par Jim Foster, elle est la troisième ligue la plus ancienne de football professionnel en Amérique du Nord, après la LCF et la National Football League (NFL). L'AFL joue selon des règles exclusives appelées « arena football », une forme de football américain en salle, jouée sur un terrain de 66 yards sur 28 (environ un quart de la surface d'un terrain de la NFL), avec des règles encourageant les performances offensives, entraînant un jeu plus rapide et plus performant. Le sport est inventé au début des années 1980 et breveté par Foster, ancien dirigeant de la United States Football League (USFL) et de la NFL. De 2000 à 2009, l'AFL a son propre championnat de développement, l'AF2. L'AFL joue 22 saisons de 1987 à 2008 ; des problèmes internes entraînent l'annulation de celle de 2009, bien que l'AF2 joue. Plus tard dans l'année, l'AFL et l'AF2 sont dissoutes et réorganisées en une nouvelle société comprenant des équipes des deux associations. L'AFL revient en 2010. L'assistance moyenne par match depuis son retour en 2010 est d'environ 9 500 personnes. L'AFL a toujours eu une empreinte nationale et est reconnue comme la plus importante corporation de football en salle professionnelle en Amérique du Nord, offrant une rémunération plus élevée, une couverture médiatique plus large et une plus longue histoire que la concurrence. Après un maximum de 19 équipes en 2007, il n'en reste plus que six pour 2019, toutes situées dans le nord-est des États-Unis. (fr)
  • La Arena Football League (AFL) è stata la principale lega professionistica di football a 8 degli Stati Uniti d'America. Il termine arena si riferisce all'impianto al coperto dove si svolgono le partite. Il campionato venne disputato ininterrottamente dal 1987 al 2008, quando problemi interni causarono la cancellazione della stagione 2009; il campionato della lega minore af2 continuò invece a svolgersi. Nel corso dell'anno sia la AFL che la af2 furono dissolte e riorganizzate da una nuova società, così la AFL poté fare ritorno dal 2010 al 2019. Il quartier generale della Arena Football League era situato in Filadelfia. (it)
