Report

The Swiss American Football Federation (SAFV / Schweizerischer American Football Verband / Federation Suisse de Football Americain / Federazione Svizzera Football Americano) was established in 1986.

The first Championship (Meisterschaft) featured 8 teams in two divisons, Ost (East) and West, with Lugano Seagulls defeating Zurich Renegades 9-6 in the Final. Two new teams were added in 1987, and Zurich Renegades got their revenge, defeating Lugano Seagulls 8-0 in the Final.

The Nationalliga was split into two Leagues A and B for 1988, with Zurich Renegades repeating as Champions, winning the Swiss Super Bowl, as it was now known 14-8 against Bienna Jets. 1989 was the first year there was no Zurich Renegades in the Swiss Super Bowl, as St. Gallen Raiders defeated Basilisk Mean Machine 35-22. St. Gallen were the champions again in 1990, beating Bulach Giants 36-0 in Swiss Super Bowl ’90.
