World League Returns

NEW YORK -- The World League is back. After a three-year absence, the spring football league started by the NFL returns in 1995 with an all-European look.


The league will consist of three teams from the old league and three new teams to be named this week at a news conference in London.


Returning to the league are the Frankfurt Galaxy, Barcelona Dragons and London Monarchs, each of which averaged 30,000 fans a game during the 1991 and 1992 seasons. In its two seasons, the league consisted of teams from Europe and North America.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
