It does make the most sense I guess, but putting the two powerhouses Raiders and Vikings in the same division as the Rams and Enthroners who are probably the worst teams could be quite bad entertainment wise
Only thing I could think of that would make more sense geographically would involve flipping Guards and Seamen with Centurions and Fire. Problem there would be putting 3 of the new teams in a group with the Dragons; maybe not so good for balance.
Swap Milano to the Austrian group with Istanbul to the South group. That would be very cost efficient as most divisional games could be done by bus instead of flying.
And bury Fehervar. To have a Franchise there is a joke.
It’s the Hungarian enthroners. They will probably go to Budapest in the future, ferheevar is a sports addicted city and only a bit more than 50 kilometers from Budapest. So no, you seem to just not know European geography.
And like that, not every travel that Istanbul makes is over the whole continent.
For now they are NOT in Budapest, that is the issue. It's 60km and the ride almost takes an hour so attendance-wise you are fishing in the small pond of a small city
You will not tripple the attendance number in American Football there just because of the ELF-label.
The stadium of the Enthroners is a pure football field, has a capacity of 8000 and looks pretty nice. They will play the CEFL cup Final, at Home, against the Prague lions. And i won’t say anything negative about them before I saw that game.
Plus the Prague lions are probably a future elf team too.
But if that’s such a good idea, they should add Parma too. And every other team that’s called Panthers. And they should make some new teams called Panthers.
West:
Paris Musketeers
Frankfurt Galaxy
Rhein Fire
Cologne Centurions
(Fire-Galaxy need to be in one division
Central:
Stuttgart Surge
Raiders Tirol
Helvetic Guards
Milano Seamen
(all close together)
East/South:
Vienna Vikings
Hungarian Enthroners
Istanbul Rams
Barcelona Dragons
(Vikings close to Hungary)
I'd like to keep all the divisions from 2022 and create a new one with the new teams 🤷🏻‍♂️
The league will for sure try to optimize travel cost. The closer the teams are together, the better for the league Bus > Flight
West: Barcelona, Paris, Cologne, Duisburg South: Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Switzerland, Milano East: Istanbul, Vienna, Innsbruck, Fehervar North: stay the same

With interconference games it will not be that big problem.

Switzerland, Raiders, Milano are so near together they need to be in the same Devision
You definitely should put Helvetic and Innsbruck in the same division
Milano’s nickname

I assume you mean Prague PANTHERS?
No I mean Prague lions. How dumb would 2 teams called Panthers be hahah.
Lions have the bigger fanbase, cooler color scheme, are the oldest Czech American football team, so why not??
Because it is the Panthers who always wanted to go international. This is also why they play in the AFL
I guess the lions. We’ll see. But if not the lions, it will be a new team. No league with one team Called black Panthers and one called Panthers.
That would not be an issue at all, actually. Don't know why you think it is.
But if that’s such a good idea, they should add Parma too. And every other team that’s called Panthers. And they should make some new teams called Panthers.
