The WFA was founded by Jeff and Lisa King in order to create the highest level of football for women in North America.  The formula was simple.  Jeff and Lisa’s goal was to create a league where all players could afford to play regardless of income level. This meant keeping travel regionalized and charging a fraction of what other leagues charge.



In 2009, the WFA rewarded playoff teams with financial assistance in the form of travel and game day funds.  They awarded thousands of dollars to the semi-finalists and finalists and awarded the National Champions with custom uniforms and championship rings. This was the type of league that aspiring players were looking for.



Within the first five months of starting, the WFA had grown to 32 teams, making it the  fastest growing league in the history of the sport.  This momentum continued as the WFA grew by an additional twenty-five percent after its first year, making it the fastest growing league in the country.

​In the preceding decade women's football has been segmented into multiple leagues, fragmenting the highest talent pool and separating the resources required to move the sport forward. This 2011 unification and landmark growth structure echoes that of Women's Basketball and Women's Tennis. In addition to delivering fans the most competitive match-ups seen to date, this is an imperative threshold to creating a sustainable and blossoming future for the sport.



"This is an exciting time for women's football and the WFA. With 62 teams across the country working together for a common goal, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. We are looking forward to one of the most competitive seasons in women's football history," said Jeff King, WFA President.



The Women's Football Alliance is a full-contact American football league comprised of 63 teams across the United States and Mexico. From Florida to Oregon and from New England to California, the WFA is the largest and fastest growing league in America.
