National Arena League (2017–present)
The Monterrey Steel is a professional indoor football team and a charter member of the National Arena League (NAL) that began play in the 2017 season. Based in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, the Steel play their home games at Arena Monterrey.
The Steel are the first team from Mexico to play in an American arena/indoor football league, as well as the first team from outside the United States to play in one since the Toronto Phantoms of the Arena Football League (2001–2002).
On November 30, 2016, it was announced that the Monterrey Steel would be joining the National Arena League for its inaugural 2017 season. In the announcement, the team named arena football veteran J. A. Anderson as their first head coach, and unveiled their logo and color scheme. The Steel nickname is a tribute to Monterrey being the steel capital of Mexico, with the first mills opening in the city in 1903.
