MADRID (AP) — An American football league in Europe and the teams that recently broke away from it demanding structural reforms have reached a deal to reunite and play next season. The European League of Football and the European Football Alliance said Wednesday they reached a “strategic cooperation agreement." “This agreement creates a transparent, team-led governance model designed to reinforce stability, consistency, and long-term growth throughout the sport,” they said in a joint statement.
