History
[edit]American football in Slovenia began developing in 2002 when the first Slovenian team, the Ljubljana Silverhawks, were formed. Since then, six other tackle teams were formed in different regions of Slovenia, developing gridiron football on a national level.[1]
In 2009–10, the association organized the first edition of the Slovenian Football League, the highest level of gridiron football in Slovenia.
