The Condors will take on the Mexicas (formerly the Eagles) in the opening round of Mexico’s six-team Liga de Futbol Americano Profesional (LFA) Sunday morning.

These two teams faced each other twice 2017 with the Condors winning the first game 24-20 and the Eagles exacting revenge in the second 31-16, earning them a berth in the playoffs.

Since then, the Mexicas (Eagles) have signed veteran Rafael Duk as their head coach. Duk was formerly the head coach of the Raptors in 2016, guiding his team to the first LFA championship game. Two key players Duk has added are quarterback Gerardo Ramos and running back Terrill Gourdine (Livingstone College).

Notable signings for the Condors include Europe Warrior veteran Preston Bailey.

Condors head coach Félix Buendía:

“We have a rookie-laden team but all the players are highly committed. They have been working very hard and we have a great organization behind us, supporting us game by game.”
