The BIG6 European Football League (BIG6) is a European Cup style tournament for European American Football teams affiliated to EFAF (European Federation of American Football). The final game of the BIG6 is called the Eurobowl, which has been held annually since 1986. The current champions are the New Yorker Lions who defeated fellow German club Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns 24–14. == History == In 2014, the newly created BIG6 European Football League was introduced as the new top-tier competition of American football in Europe, replacing the old European Football League (EFL).〔(BIG6 European Football League starts 2014 ) www.eurobowl.com, published: 20 November 2013, accessed: 5 December 2013〕 The EFL continued to be played as a second-tier competition, with its teams now playing for the newly created EFL Bowl trophy instead of the Eurobowl.〔(EFL 2014 teams announced ) www.efaf.info, published: 11 February 2014, accessed: 8 July 2014〕 The BIG6 initially consisted of three teams from Germany, two from Austria and one from Switzerland, the clubs being Berlin Adler, New Yorker Lions, Dresden Monarchs, Raiffeisen Vikings Vienna, Swarco Raiders Tirol and the Calanda Broncos. The Berlin Adler became inaugural BIG6 champions, defeating fellow German club New Yorker Lions 20–17 in Eurobowl XXVIII. For the 2015 season, Dresden and the Calanda Broncos were replaced by the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns (Germany) and the La Courneuve Flash (France),〔(Wieder drei GFL-Teams in Europas Big6 ) (in German) www.efaf.info, published: 23 December 2014, accessed: 28 December 2014〕 making La Courneuve the first team from outside of German-speaking Europe to enter the competition. For the 2016 season, the Flash were replaced by fellow French club Aix-en-Provence Argonautes.〔(Third season for Big6 ) eurobowl.com, published: 3 November 2015, accessed: 3 November 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BIG6 European Football League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
