Independent Women's Football League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Independent Women's Football League was founded in 2000, and began play in 2001. IWFL founders began with the goal to establish a quality women's football league that would be respected as the top level of women's tackle football in the world. After five years of continuous growth and success, the IWFL has emerged as the clear leader in women's football. Currently over 1,300 women play on IWFL teams across the United States and Canada.

The IWFL secured a television contract in 2008 with games to be aired on an upstart syndication service known as "Fanz TV;" the deal has apparently been suspended indefinitely.
