History of the BIG6 European Football League (BIG6)

There is no better way to shape your future than knowing your past, is that not correct? Hence, we have put a strong focus on the history of BIG6. You will find an abundance of articles talking about how the tournament came into being and how it developed throughout its existence.

We are also discussing the larger context of American football in Europe as well as BIG6’s predecessors. We have also paid special attention to the organizing bodies who had managed the championship since its early days.

BIG6 Rules

BIG6 was a very specific tournament, and since not everyone is familiar with the rules of American Football championships, we also have several blog posts where we talk about this topic. BIG6 was a European Cup-style competition, but it did have several unusual twists to its rules throughout the years, so it is important to know them.

BIG6 Teams

The teams of BIG6 were by far the most interesting side of this tournament. The championship began with six founding teams only to end with four participating clubs in 2018. However, this is not what mattered. The important thing was that this tournament was really rivaled, with many switches among the competing squads throughout the years.

That is why this blog pays special attention and homage to the BIG6 teams. We believe that each and every club that earned its place in this championship had the right to be there and deserves for the world to know about it.

BIG6 Players

Last but not least, we have the players. BIG6 was the home to numerous prominent players who made stellar American football careers not only in Europe but also across the world. Many of them won trophies and other distinguished awards. We have portraits and features of these stars, which you are welcome to check out.

Farewell or a New Beginning?

While the topic of BIG6 is vast, it is also finite. The reason is that the championship ended in 2018. However, was that really the end? We believe, not. The reason is that BIG6 gave rise to many great things in European American football and opened new horizons in front of the clubs and managers. Nowadays, the sport is developing rapidly across the Old Continent. Plenty of the current trends are here largely thanks to BIG6. In other words, BIG6 left a legacy for generations of clubs and fans to benefit from and enjoy, so we will continue to talk about this tournament for many years ahead.
