Report

With three teams going unbeaten for half the season it was always going to be difficult to choose the Champion from the 2013 OMFA Organisacion Mexicano de Futbol Americano Pro Championship. OMFA Pro was the leading Professional League in Mexican American Football at the time until it was superseded by FAMA (Futbol Americano Mexico Asociacion) in 2014.

In the end it was Olmecas Premier (Olmecas were the first ever written civilisation in Ancient Mexico) who prevailed in the Final over Tigres Oro SSP ( Gold Tigers Secretaria de Securidad Publica) with Lobos Toluca also worthy of praise, going 3-0 in their first three matches before falling to Olmecas Premier, who knocked them out again in the Semi-Finals. Other teams were Rancheros Aguas Calientes, Aguilas Blancas (White Eagles) and Horda Dorada (Golden Horde).

Report

The Liga de Futbol Americano (Mexico) announced on its homepage that the 2021 season would consist of 8 teams: The Mayas were to return to play after a years absence and the Artilleros Puebla were to take a year out. The North Division would consist of Dinos Saltillo, Fundidores Monterrey, Pioneros Queretaro and Raptors Edomex. The Central Division was to consist of Condores CDMX, Mexicas CDMX, Mayas and Osos Toluca.

On the 11th April 2021 the League announced the suspension of Operations due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, because even though there were vaccines, there was not enough of the population vaccinated.

On 14 April the AAA Rival League to LFA, the Futbol Americano de Mexico (FAM) announced it was suspending operations for 2021 and also that Pioneros Queretaro was to rejoin the League from LFA. The Pioneros helmet was removed from the LFA homepage at the same time. This is probably an early indication of how the 2022 line-ups will be made.

Report

The Futbol Americano de Mexico – a AAA / Rival Major League to the Liga Futbol Americano (Mexico), is one of the two Professional American Football Leagues in Mexico. For its third season in 2021, it has scheduled the same six teams as the 2020 season – unusual for a AAA Pro American Football League anywhere, let alone Mexico.

The season was to begin on 22 February and run for 7 weeks before the playoffs, with each team getting one rest (bye) week. On 14 April 2021 the FAM Commissioner Zapata made the announcement that the FAM season would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic and also that Pioneros Queretaro would be the 8th team in the League.

Report

Futbol Americano Mexico (FAM) was started in 2018, playing its first season in 2019, as a rival to the Liga Futbol Americano Profesional (LFA) in Mexico. It was the first league other than the NFL to play by NFL rules, with the exception of overtime, which is by NCAA rules. All other leagues outside of America, bar the Canadian Football League (which has its own rules) are played under NCAA rules. [Ref: 4]

The 2020 League was suspended after the games on 14 March due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. Tequileros de Jalisco (3-1) and Bulldogs de Naucalpan (2-1) were out in front in the Division Voit. In Division BWW, Caudillos de Chuihuahua were clear leaders on a 4-0 Won-Loss Record.
