The World Football League - Iowa Professional Football Connection

The World Football League - Iowa Professional Football Connection

The World Football League (WFL) was a shortlived American football league that played
in 1974 and part of 1975. Although the league's
proclaimed ambition was to bring American
football onto a worldwide stage, the farthest the
WFL reached was placing a team – the
Hawaiians – in Honolulu, Hawaii. The league
folded midway through its second season, in
1975.
