Egyptian Federation of American football


The Egyptian Federation of American Football (EFAF) is a league governing body of the sport of American Football in Egypt and is responsible for all regulatory, competitive, performance and development aspects of the game. EFAF was founded in December 2014 by 3 people: Abdelrahman Hafez, Ali Rafeek and Amr Hebbo.

EFAF currently has 6 affiliated teams; with more than 650 registered individuals. The teams are The Cairo Bears, The GUC Eagles, The Cairo Hellhounds, The MSA Tigers, The AUC Titans and The Cairo Wolves.

EFAF is a socially responsible organization seeking the expansion, popularization, and development of American Football in Egypt, in both its tackle and flag formats. Faced with challenges through the introducing of the culture, ethics, and values of the sport, a complete systemic approach was the foundation of the vision, offering constructive training programs and competitions for youth as well as seasoned athletes.

A Football Academy for all age groups was set-up as a pillar for learning the basics of American Football and therefore, evolve the knowledge of the sport. Coaching and referees clinics hosted by experienced football individuals and experts to ensure proper education on all levels and consistency of performance throughout our activities.

What started at the end of 2006 with a meeting among friends, progressed to 4 different teams being sponsored by Wadi Degla Sporting Clubs in 2010 and now has evolved to EFAF (Egyptian Federation of American Football).

EFAF was inaugurated mid-2014 and now bolsters 6 different teams throughout Cairo. Egyptian Football’s true start was on May 8, 2014 when the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) recognized football in Egypt by the attendance of the Vice Chair of IFAF Asia of the first fully equipped match in Egypt between The GUC Eagles and the Cairo Sharks. This visit was to establish the fact that Egypt will be an officially accepted member of the IFAF which in turn would mean that the national team that is to be chosen will granted international status and the ability to compete in international events.
