The European Football Alliance (EFA) proudly welcomes two strong franchises to its ranks: StuttgartSurge and berlinthunderfootball. With this step, the EFA – dedicated to transparency, economic fairness, and the sustainable development of European football – strengthens its collective presence, expanding from 9 to 11 out of the 16 current ELF franchises.
 
Their admission was decided during the recent EFA Conference in Frankfurt, where member franchises discussed the future of American football in Europe, including current developments regarding the ELF, expanding relationships with NFL teams, sharing best practice models from the NFL and other U.S. sports, developing player talent, improving the game experience for fans, fostering synergies among EFA teams, and planning offseason activities.
 
With Surge’s impressive recent sporting success – already securing their playoff spot as 2025 Division Champions – and Thunder’s unique position in Germany’s capital, rooted in NFL Europe heritage and currently in a phase of comprehensive restructuring with new strategic partners and investors to strengthen its operational base and prepare for sustainable success in the coming seasons, both teams bring strong competitive and strategic value to the EFA.
