In 2011, Austria yet again leads the way in American Football in Europe. Of the 20 teams qualified for the EFL (European Football League) four are from Austria and a fifth AFL (Austrian Football League) team, the Prague Panthers also plays in the EFL.
As in previous years, the leaderboard is full of Austrian teams. In the quarterfinals, all 4 games had Austrian teams, and 3 of the 4 won their games last weekend thus qualifying for the semifinals.
The world knows that Austria is the number one place for American Football outside of America.
