The Cologne Centurions are an American football team based in Cologne, Germany, that plays in the European League of Football (ELF).
History
In March 2021, it was announced that a new franchise in Cologne is one of the eight teams to play in the inaugural season of the European League of Football. The team would be named Cologne Centurions, taking the identity of the former NFL Europe team, after the league reached an agreement with the NFL for the naming rights.[2] After finishing 5–5 in the regular season, Cologne advanced to the play-offs where they were eliminated by eventual champion Frankfurt Galaxy (ELF) in the first round. After the season, their Head Coach Kirk Heidelberg left the organization, reportedly in mutual agreement.
Stadium
The Centurions are playing their home games at Südstadion in Cologne.[3]
