Mission Statement

The Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) was designed to create the largest and most competitive women’s tackle football league in the world.  Women’s tackle football teams and leagues have been in existence for over four decades, but the most promising growth in the sport – both in the number of teams and in the level of competition – has taken place over the last five years.

In 2007, the WFA opened its doors to female athletes across the nation, regardless of their financial status.  The WFA’s non-profit business model changed the sport by charging franchises 70 percent lower fees than other women’s leagues in operation.  Furthermore, 75 percent of the money raised by the WFA was invested right back into the member teams and their players.  The WFA also created unique rewards for member teams and players and teams by providing All-American jerseys, playoff travel money, championship rings, championship uniforms, and national broadcasting of the National Championship on major sporting networks such as ESPN3, Root Sports, and Comcast.  

With over $20,000 in rewards, the WFA National Champions earn ten times their investment for playing in the league, an incentive that encourages and supports success on the field.Giving teams the ability to remain financially stable while simultaneously attracting younger athletes was the recipe for teams to become more competitive each year.  

The WFA’s unique business plan allowed new teams to blossom in cities all across the nation, minimizing travel for all teams whilemaximizing the national exposure of women’s football.  The formula worked so well that within two years, the WFA had become the largest women’s tackle football league in the world and home to the most successful and longstanding franchises in women’s football history. 

The Women’s Football Alliance continues to support the successful growth of women’s tackle football across the United States and around the world, with the ultimate goal of having a majority of our games broadcast on national television networks. 

"As a league, we are indebted to the multiple leagues that have helped women’s football grow to where we are today.  We came in with a plan to take the game to another level, and we believe the success of our teams shows on the field.  From 2011 until 2013, the number of WFA players on the U.S. National Team skyrocketed from zero percent to 96 percent.  

We are proud of how far we have come in a short time and impressed with the level of football being played on the field, but we are even more excited about the promising future that exists for all our players and teams.  We have a productthat is exciting to watch and marketable.  When players no longer have to pay to play football, we will have tackled our final barrier and accomplished our vision for the game.”
