Emirates American Football League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Emirates American Football League is an amateur American football league based in the United Arab Emirates.
Founded in 2011 by Dustin Cherniawski, James Babb and couple Patrick Campos and Julie Teperow from the now defunct American Football Academy in Dubai,[1] the organization promoted itself as a channel of American Football in the U.A.E by "providing a safe and structured environment where players from ages 8 and up can engage in full contact American Football."[2]
It is currently the only organization supporting and promoting American football in the U.A.E. It conducts training and conditions sessions for players but also hosts an annual tournament called the 'Desert Bowl'.

The Desert Bowl is the annual American football tournament held by the league. In a regular season, various teams regularly play matches against each other. Following the conclusion of the regular season, the teams play against each other in a single-elimination playoffs tournament called the Desert Bowl.
