Caudillos de Chihuahua fan here. Our history is interesting, we currently have the longest ongoing winstreak with more than 20 wins, our last loss wasn’t even in the LFA it was in the FAM, a league that existed before we joined LFA. Thanks for covering our league 🇲🇽
That's awesome! Yeah I want to make more videos where I can go more in depth on the college and pro leagues. The college teams seem very interesting there.

My Grand-Uncle (brother of my abuela) . Played running back for the IPN in the 40s, he is actually credited of scoring the first mexican TD against american opposition at college level at least. Domingo Felix was his name.
As a former college football athlete , played at Autenticos Tigres and current pro-player for Dinos, i can tell you with confidence that the League is growing🙏🏼🤝🏽stay tuned
As an american who played college football in mexico i was definitely amazed how big it is. A lot of my teammates went pro in the league when it first started. The most impressive thing to me was that girls flag football was the most popular sport for women in mexico, even more than soccer. Aside from butchering names and titles this was a great video. Never thought a gringo would take this topic on. Good job
How is it with those viewing numbers the NFL is focused on having a team all the way in London when it's clear there's a bigger fanbase for the sport in Mexico? At least throw the LFA some money from time to time!
uk is pretty broke these days while mexico is bigger and getting a more people are getting money but i think theres still an association that Europe is high class or cooler.
Easy. We're not Europeans, we don't charge in Euros and we're mostly not white. That simple. It's a matter of elitism, classism, xenophobia and racism all together. The world has done the same to Mexico in every major way, they've never considered us important, sadly.

At 3:11, the viewership table, you got to establish that the population of Brazil is almost twice the size of Mexico's, each year the super bowl is watched by one fourth, even a third of the entire people will tune in...
I'M SO GLAD TO FIND THIS VIDEO!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼😎🏈🇲🇽 Football in México is very underestimated. We have a HUGE fandom 🤘🏼 I used to play football at VAQUEROS DE COAPA when I was a kid, got eight straight championships, and I was a coach for 13 years. Now I live in Chicago and I'm dreaming of getting back to be a coach😊
Great work man! Thanks for making a video on Mexican football. P.S. the student protest that lead to violent repression started after the police crushed 12:39 a fight between the fans of two high school football teams in Mexico City
Thanks for watching! Ok, one of the books I read said something to that extent which is why I added the event. I couldn't find anymore sources though stating it was from a football game, so I didn't want to add that in there. That's crazy!
The Burros Blancos didn't turn into the Aguilas Blancas, it's two different teams both representing IPN. Both have a rivalry vs Pumas and there's also a great rivalry between Burros and Aguilas called "La Guerra Civil" or the civil war.
Yeah I was about to say,,that sounds more like a spin-off team that represents another campus somewhere. Like here we have University of Texas, University of Texas at El Paso and Univesity of Texas at San Antonio. Each one has their own team.
That's incorrect. Burros Blancos dissappeared as a regular team for a few decades, the same happened with Pumas. Both public school programs were restructured and formed multiple teams, Pumas became Condores, Águilas Reales, Guerreros Aztecas and Osos Acatlán. Burros blancos turned into Águilas Blancas, Pieles Rojas and others I don't remember. Usually at the end of every ONEFA's season IPN and UNAM played a game with the best players of their respective teams and call it Pumas vs Burros Blancos. I remember this because the days previous to that game the "porros" (local student gangs in every school) turned really violent against each other and other students. When the private schools dominated the college football, Pumas and Burros Blancos returned. UNAM only kept 2 programs (Pumas and Pumas Acatlán) and the IPN kept Águilas Blancas and revived Burros Blancos from the ashes of Pieles Rojas.
Yo nací y viví mi infancia en Xalapa y ahí se cuenta la historia de que el primer juego organizado de fútbol americano se hizo en esa ciudad y que el primer juego de fútbol americano improvisado fue en el puerto de veracruz. También hay fotografías de lo que en su momento fue la primer cancha oficial de fútbol americano, también en la ciudad de xalapa.
As a mexican, I can tell you hit the spot with this video Kyle, even the political stuff was very accurate...the ONEFA Liga Mayor is a great spectacle, I hope one day we see ONEFA playing some regular season games against Division II or Division III teams in the NCAA...I can tell you also, every year the Aztec Bowl is played, where an ONEFA All Star Team plays a Foreign All Star Team some of these games have been played against Div. II or Div III All Stars...
The first NFL game was in 1978. Itcwas played by New Orleans Saints against Philadelphia Eagles. It was a preseason game and I remember Ron Jaworski was QB of the Eagles
I want to make a video eventually going more in depth on the college teams in Mexico. There seems to be a lot of documented history going back a while for a few of the teams.
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle you gotta focus on the major teams for that: Borregos Salvajes from Tec de Monterrey, Campus Monterrey Auténticos Tigres from UANL Pumas from UNAM Aztecas from UDLAP Burros Blancos and Águilas Blancas from IPN Aguiluchos from Army And the team that resembles most and American college football team: Red Wolves from Arkansas State, Querétaro
Hi I loved the video, as a part of the Mexico’s American Football society I feel very identify. My father is part of the ONEFA all time hall of fame, playing with Pumas in the 80s if you want I can get you in a talk with my father, so he can talk you through what American football in Mexico has transition, an what the future looks like
American Football in Mexico is a very well organized and very well structured sport similar to the US and Canada like no other sport like soccer, which is already more of a business than a sport but it attracts the masses because it is an easier sport to understand and practice, no soccer player has the training of an American Football Player because soccer for many is a professional goal. For an American football player it is a beautiful sport because if he leaves it he is already a professional who studied a career American football has been practiced in this country for more than 100 years, the 32 state universities plus the private universities, not counting the private leagues that in the end produce players who join the University teams to continue advancing in their growth that begins with the children's leagues until they reach the senior category and from there they go on to play professionally in the LFA, a professional player in Mexico is not improvised because the majority have played since they were children until they become Professional, every year like in the US and Canada there is a draft where players who finish their university cycle are promoted to the professional level and are acquired by the different teams in the league and these are complemented by foreign players, mostly from the US, who have raised the technique and game of the players. Mexicans and who have contributed to the quality and spectacle of the LFA that grows more every day and has positioned itself as the 3rd best league in the world after the NFL and the CFL.
It's not that CONADEIP dissapeared, ONEFA and CONADEIP merged, great video, I was narrator for Borregos Guadalajara during my university time, liked this video a lot, great work /,,/
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle only that, I explain a bit, so, the separation was done because here in Mexico we got private (universities with a price) and public universities (free, but harder to get into, not necesarilly bad) and publuc universities complained that the private schools were getting the best players because they offered schoolarships, something public universities couldn’t. Because of this private universities joined CONADEIP (Comision Nacional del Deporte en Instituciones privadas), and starting in 2010 they created their own league, until 2020 when they merged again. They started doing some games against each other in 2019 (I got to broadcast a couple of them before graduating) until they formally merged again
@@JohnyNunoMts I was about to say the same thing! The whole reason for the creation of CONADEIP was that the private schools were offering full scholarships to the best players, so Borregos became unbeatable for a while. With no pro league (at the time), player's were better off going to the school that offered them the best education
I would love for you to make a video on the international tournaments. Earlier called NFL Global Junior Championship (played the week of and in the same city as the Super Bowl) , now called IFAF Jr world champion.
Sooo, the Ivy League won’t participate in the FCS playoffs, but they’ll travel halfway around the world to play an exhibition that probably got less views than a mid-tier bowl? Welp, might as well go south of the border for another exhibition 🙃
I honestly think that the forgein Football Leagues should have aForgein Player limit like Japan Baseball league,the NPB does, where, the amount of forgein players you can have in the organization is unlimited, but only 4 can be on the first team, and they can't all be the same position, so you can't have all 4 of your forgein players be just pitchers, or just outfielders. Do something like that where you can have as many as you want, but your limited to only suiting up 5 for a game. And they can't all be on offense or defense,it hasto be a mix.
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle I think you also should do a story on the videogame “Madden” because that is what made me fall in love with American Football because not only did it teach me the rules of the game it made me appreciate how much strategy it took to play the game. The fact that the game had a first down line graphic, for example, helped me understand what downs, meant, and what value they had in the game, besides understanding and appreciating yardage gain and touchdowns. First down line graphics are now common in American football tv broadcasts, but not when I was a kid, so I had no idea what was really going on, but ‘Madden’ the game first did.
American football is great everywhere! Go Hong Kong Cobras! Being a cheerleader you never miss a game or practice. A true world league would be so cool. 😃🏈🐍
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle You should! The best games are against their rival, the Hong Kong Orcas. It's sad though. Games often end in forfeits due to one of the teams not having enough players. It's catching on though and hopefully they can do a full season instead of 7 games a year.
Very nice. I’m from Mexico City and attended USC, so I am all into football 🏈, after soccer, of course. So I truly appreciate your video👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇲🇽🏈❤️
Can’t wait to see Ireland’s system get covered. If you do though you gotta mention the International Player Pathway and how a lot of young Irish players who grew up playing Gaelic football (our own version of football) and rugby are going straight to the NFL. Charlie Smyth on the Saints is a good example. It’s a weird system too with a mix of college and non college teams in the same league
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle do that and the ELF, which is by far the most interesting league outside of NA to me. Teams from Spain to Poland with so many globally famous cities. Even if alot of their games end in blowouts
Actually the CFL had some Mexican Players in their teams. Two of them are still active players as kickers but most of them were in other positions from LFA.
i played american football in my town Mexicali Baja California , popwarner and juvenil A and B , then varsity , it was the best of my life , by the way im REDSKINS fan to the bone , BRING BACK THE REDSKINS NAME TO WASHINGTON
Porros are thugs organized by the government or public school officials to control any student movement that demand better conditions for students. Everytime the students organize protests, porros arrive and use violence to disolve the protests. They have become linked to american football because this sport is the most important sporting event in mexican colleges. Porros from one university or high school will fight porros from another school at "clásicos" or big rivalry games (like UNAM vs IPN).
My friends in Mexico call it a rich people sport. From your report I can see what they mean. Don’t get me wrong I love football but it sucks that only rich people can play.
That's very interesting. It is an expensive sport to play for sure. Modern helmets are around $300-$500 a piece. For reasons I don't understand though, it doesn't cost a lot of money in the US to play football for the average person. Most High schools in the US have a football team. If you go to a public school, you usually don't have to pay anything for equipment. I think it costs money in Mexico because it's still a niche sport. If you wanted to play something like hockey or lacrosse in the US, you would most likely have to pay for all of your equipment. So, a lot of wealthier people play those sports growing up.
There are even American Football teams in Russia, China, and couple countries in Africa such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Uganda!! Also, Costa Rica and Brazil both have a women league same as Russia and many other countries
Are you thinking about make videos on Germany, Brazil and other countries? Im brazilian, and im a sport fan in general, and im glad american football is getting more popular globally, the NFL and IFAF just need to invest more on the international game
I actually agree why is that the NFL is so focused on taking a Franchise to the U.K when we are a much bigger fan base here in Mexico and it logistics would be so much more easy and cheaper!
Also the comment about American football being the kind with 2 O’s makes no sense because football (soccer) is an English sport and the original word. Fútbol is just the spelling of football using the Spanish alphabet. Balompié is the more direct translation for soccer in Spanish and is used as well
I didn't say Latinos are Mexicans. I just made a comment about Latinos watching the NFL. I simply stated how the demographics were presented by the NFL and the US Census.
FOOTBALL ⚽️ WAS INVENTED FIRST. MOREOVER THE BALL ⚽️ IS A SPHERE AND YOU USE YOUR FEET LIKE 89% OF THE TIME TO PLAY THUS THE NAME. ON THE OTHER HAND IN 🖐️ AMERICAN HAND EGG 🥚 YOU USED YOUR HANDS LIKE 95% OF THE TIME AND THE BALLL IS AND OVAL. SO 🤫 🤐.
@@ttecano67 PERO PORQUE LE COPEAN EL NOMBRE A UN DEPORTE QUE LLA EXISTE? EL QUE DECIDIÓ ESO DEBIO DE AVER SIDO UNA DE ESTAS DOS, MUI PENDEJO OH MUY PREPOTENTE.
Unfortunately politics had a lot to do with football not being as popular as to should in the 70s. He got it pretty accurate. I wouldn’t have dived into details but I appreciate he did his homework. There were even plans to cancel NFLs broadcast in Mexico due to the huge pressure of the “soccer lobby”.
Actually, the very first NFL game was in 1978, when the New Orleans Saints played the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, Ron Jaworski made an asshole of himself by bitching about the facilities. You should ask him about that. Also, NFL viewership has been alive and kicking since the 1950s in Mexico. For the last sixty-something years, nobody cared whether the NFL had quota players of non-traditional backgrounds, and sure as hell, nobody was missing Mexican players. This attempt to shove diversity down people's throats is nauseating, despicable, and immoral, as it will unquestionably blow up in the NFL's face.

Appreciate the shoutout a lot!! If you're planning on doing more content on Mexican football let us know!!
For sure! I eventually want to make one focusing more on just the college league

@@GridironHistoryWithKyle I think you also should do a story on the videogame “Madden” because that is what made me fall in love with American Football because not only did it teach me the rules of the game it made me appreciate how much strategy it took to play the game. The fact that the game had a first down line graphic, for example, helped me understand what downs, meant, and what value they had in the game, besides understanding and appreciating yardage gain and touchdowns. First down line graphics are now common in American football tv broadcasts, but not when I was a kid, so I had no idea what was really going on, but ‘Madden’ the game first did.
Excellent video!! 😎👌
It’d be crazy if players for UIW could transfer between teams
Or Arkansas State. In a future we will have a Texas Tech Team in Mexico.
American football is great everywhere! Go Hong Kong Cobras! Being a cheerleader you never miss a game or practice. A true world league would be so cool. 😃🏈🐍
@@mirandaconlin9231 I need to check out the hong Kong cobras now!
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle You should! The best games are against their rival, the Hong Kong Orcas. It's sad though. Games often end in forfeits due to one of the teams not having enough players. It's catching on though and hopefully they can do a full season instead of 7 games a year.
Another CIA agent who was also president of Mexico was Luis Echeverría (1970 - 1976).He was instrumental of the Tlatlelolco massacre
Yeah this was a very interesting but sad event to look into. I had never heard of this before.
Very nice. I’m from Mexico City and attended USC, so I am all into football 🏈, after soccer, of course. So I truly appreciate your video👍👍💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇲🇽🏈❤️
Thanks for watching!
Bro, this turned into a mexican history class
Love it 🎉
Thanks for watching!
"the real foot ball" lmao
Hit me up I still play in the LFA
For sure! How can I reach you? My email is cfbhistorychannel@gmail.com You could also message me on Instagram!
How is it ?
Can’t wait to see Ireland’s system get covered. If you do though you gotta mention the International Player Pathway and how a lot of young Irish players who grew up playing Gaelic football (our own version of football) and rugby are going straight to the NFL. Charlie Smyth on the Saints is a good example. It’s a weird system too with a mix of college and non college teams in the same league
Oh I'll definitely check that out! I haven't heard of any of that yet!
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle do that and the ELF, which is by far the most interesting league outside of NA to me. Teams from Spain to Poland with so many globally famous cities. Even if alot of their games end in blowouts
So there is a mexican football league , like Canada CFL didn't know that!😲
Yes, in the near future, is expected that both leagues can work together
Actually the CFL had some Mexican Players in their teams. Two of them are still active players as kickers but most of them were in other positions from LFA.
And YES, we need more Mark Sanchez-like in the NFL… WE need them🇲🇽🏈😎
i played american football in my town Mexicali Baja California , popwarner and juvenil A and B , then varsity , it was the best of my life , by the way im REDSKINS fan to the bone , BRING BACK THE REDSKINS NAME TO WASHINGTON
@@HectorMartinez-rq2gz what was the name of the place you played at?
The name of the other Braniff brother was Oscar (appearing next to Pancho Villa in one of the pictures you show in your video).
Porros are thugs organized by the government or public school officials to control any student movement that demand better conditions for students. Everytime the students organize protests, porros arrive and use violence to disolve the protests. They have become linked to american football because this sport is the most important sporting event in mexican colleges. Porros from one university or high school will fight porros from another school at "clásicos" or big rivalry games (like UNAM vs IPN).
Thanks for the info!
My friends in Mexico call it a rich people sport. From your report I can see what they mean. Don’t get me wrong I love football but it sucks that only rich people can play.
That's very interesting. It is an expensive sport to play for sure. Modern helmets are around $300-$500 a piece. For reasons I don't understand though, it doesn't cost a lot of money in the US to play football for the average person. Most High schools in the US have a football team. If you go to a public school, you usually don't have to pay anything for equipment. I think it costs money in Mexico because it's still a niche sport. If you wanted to play something like hockey or lacrosse in the US, you would most likely have to pay for all of your equipment. So, a lot of wealthier people play those sports growing up.
I think you missed that there was a regular ONEFA season game at NRG Stadium on
the Last season.
Yes I did miss that!
College Football is big here, but overall Baseball is waaaay bigger
Gracias man !
Thank you!
Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽 🏈
There are even American Football teams in Russia, China, and couple countries in Africa such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Uganda!! Also, Costa Rica and Brazil both have a women league same as Russia and many other countries
Are you thinking about make videos on Germany, Brazil and other countries? Im brazilian, and im a sport fan in general, and im glad american football is getting more popular globally, the NFL and IFAF just need to invest more on the international game
Yes! I'm working on Italy right now but I plan on eventually making one for both Geany and Brazil
I actually agree why is that the NFL is so focused on taking a Franchise to the U.K when we are a much bigger fan base here in Mexico and it logistics would be so much more easy and cheaper!
I played in "red stars" team , in México city, corner back was my position in the 80's
That's awesome!
Viva México 🎉🇲🇽
Can you do Canada next?
I can definitely add it to my list to make a video soon on it!
@@dharmarius one up vote for the cfl!
If Canada was a person I'd do her.
2:36 it’s actually called football.. most teams have “football club” after their name ! 😂
México, Pumas, Universidad... Gooooya!!!
Mexican-American Football, ¿Since 1890's?
Yes! It's crazy
Good video! Arriba Borregos Mty!
Let’s go
Lmao, bro said Alberto Braniff was a succesful business man then shows a picture of Pancho Villa in the revolutionary times....
El Salvador also has a Football league.
I'll have to check that out!
I’ll see you all in LFA 2025
ONEFA Should be starting soon too!
For a while the borregos and Tigres would play against high schools from south TX and many times the high schools would smoke them 😂
If you watch the movie roma you can see protests and porros
Bro really said Latinos=Mexican💀 17:21
Also the comment about American football being the kind with 2 O’s makes no sense because football (soccer) is an English sport and the original word. Fútbol is just the spelling of football using the Spanish alphabet. Balompié is the more direct translation for soccer in Spanish and is used as well
Good vid overall tho bro. Just educating💯
I didn't say Latinos are Mexicans. I just made a comment about Latinos watching the NFL. I simply stated how the demographics were presented by the NFL and the US Census.
Mainly making this comment to say that my intention was not to say Latino=mexican
I was intentionally being ignorant here to be silly. I didn't know about the term Balompié though so thank you!
2:27 👀
12:45 that's the American UIW😂 not the Mexican campus
Los Steelers 🫡 from Pittsburgh
The Raiders are the Mexican national team.
Cowboys *^
@@Becauseimme is it the raiders or cowboys?
@@TravelingOnFootWalkingTours Raiders on the West Coast and Cowboys on the Southwest
You people are stuck in the 80's.
Cowboys would be more than the Raiders. Broncos as well.
College football is the only amateur sport that fills stadiums in Mexico
That's the inside info I need!
What wrong with you tittle of the video football has been played for hundreds of years already oh amincan football
The fact that you said the true story of 2 de octubre it’s amazing the Mexican president on that time had ties with the CIA, #spreadrealinformation
Nah bro that’s American football the real football is the one that has the world cup
Nfl can easily put two teams in mexico city
They should do this in Mexico and Canada!
@@GridironHistoryWithKyle Canada has the cfl
The real fotball??😂😂😂😂naa its american rugby!!!
FOOTBALL ⚽️ WAS INVENTED FIRST. MOREOVER THE BALL ⚽️ IS A SPHERE AND YOU USE YOUR FEET LIKE 89% OF THE TIME TO PLAY THUS THE NAME. ON THE OTHER HAND IN 🖐️ AMERICAN HAND EGG 🥚 YOU USED YOUR HANDS LIKE 95% OF THE TIME AND THE BALLL IS AND OVAL. SO 🤫 🤐.
Se llama Football por que el balón mide un pie, no por que se usen los pies para jugarlo..... de nada. 🤫🤫
Menuda papeada !!! 😆👍
@@ttecano67 PERO PORQUE LE COPEAN EL NOMBRE A UN DEPORTE QUE LLA EXISTE? EL QUE DECIDIÓ ESO DEBIO DE AVER SIDO UNA DE ESTAS DOS, MUI PENDEJO OH MUY PREPOTENTE.
Its weak.
Football will never make it in Mexico anymore than soccer will make it in the US.
Make it how? No one's saying it'll be bigger than the NFL? Many soccer teams do well in the US. It doesn't mean they are going to ever be elite.
How about less politics and more football!!
Unfortunately politics had a lot to do with football not being as popular as to should in the 70s. He got it pretty accurate. I wouldn’t have dived into details but I appreciate he did his homework. There were even plans to cancel NFLs broadcast in Mexico due to the huge pressure of the “soccer lobby”.
Actually, the very first NFL game was in 1978, when the New Orleans Saints played the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, Ron Jaworski made an asshole of himself by bitching about the facilities. You should ask him about that.
Also, NFL viewership has been alive and kicking since the 1950s in Mexico. For the last sixty-something years, nobody cared whether the NFL had quota players of non-traditional backgrounds, and sure as hell, nobody was missing Mexican players. This attempt to shove diversity down people's throats is nauseating, despicable, and immoral, as it will unquestionably blow up in the NFL's face.
Dumbest thing we’ve read online today and that’s saying something.
@@InsideSportJapanagreed!
That was a preseason game, not a regular season game.
What you just said is so dumb that everyone else here is now dumber for having heard such stupidity.
As a Saints fan this idiot doesn't belong in our beloved fan base.
