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]

Pioneros de Queretaro won the first FAM Final, defeating Centauros de Ciudad Juarez 16-0. Pioneros thus won what was essentially a promotion to the ranks of the LFA for 2020. The regular season was very competitive, with no team finishing better than 5-3 and no team worse than 3-5. Four of the five teams made the playoffs: Pionerors de Queretaro beat Titanes CDMX 13-12 in a close encounter in the second semi-final, while in the first, Centauros de Ciudad Juarez, ranked second for the playoffs due to a ruling from the administration, beat Bulldogs de Naucalpan 22-14 in the first semi-final. [Ref: 2; 6]
