The LNFA today has taken a very important step by betting on the reactivation with responsibility, in consideration of the pandemic. Taking into account all the protocols for the safety of our athletes.Our objective is to provide a competition scheme and space for participation of all teams that today have emerged in 3 different categories, having an exponential growth in the number of active athletes throughout the country.The projection is for growth and the objective is focused on keeping the league active in the American Football and Flag Football. Setting the goal of starting in 2021 with the incorporation of the first league of Flag Football for children (ages 10 to 12) who will be the generational replacement of our organization.
