Independent Indoor Football Alliance

“Developing Players for the Future”


The Independent Indoor Football Alliance (IIFA) is a professional developmental indoor football league designed to deliver fast-paced, action-packed football. It is a league designed for all independent indoor football teams and their affiliates, and is not involved or associated with any other league involving indoor or outdoor football.
The IIFA will provide players the opportunity to play professional football. For some of our players, it will be a dream come true to step on the field and play football (for compensation) once again. There is also a strong commitment to the advancement of players to more prominent national leagues such as the AFL, CFL, and NFL.
As a fan-friendly organization, the IIFA is committed to making the fan experience second to none and providing families the opportunity to enjoy professional football without professional prices. Ticket prices will average about $10.00 for adults and kids under 12 are free, showing a commitment to an affordable and exciting football product.
The League began last year based in Texas with 8 Teams and was a huge success… Approximately 30 players and 4 coaches out of 8 teams have received opportunities to move up in their careers, this exemplifies our goal in “Developing Players for the Future”.
We will begin the IIFA east in Greensboro, and Charlotte this year with expansion planned for next year to; Richmond Virginia, Baltimore Maryland, and Savannah Georgia. We currently have several teams committed to each location and have a league meeting planned for
December 6th at 3:00pm located at Proehlific Park for all interested teams and organizations.
