For over 6 years, the EFL has been a part of the sim league community serving as a great place for people to hang out and play out a fake football career or multiple fake football careers. The league has had it's share of up and downs but for it's 6+ years in action, the ups outweigh any downs and the memories and people that have been met through the EFL has been a highlight of my life and I'm sure a lot of others here as well! This announcement is extremely hard and sad but necessary. The EFL will be discontinuing all operations effective immediately. The time and effort by so many can not be more appreciated and we can see just how much goes into running a league. Unfortunately with it being a lot of effort to have running a sim league, the depleting numbers we have experienced have made things too much for just a few to effectively run a successful sim league experience. Could it run bare bones, probably? But we would not be rewarding your time and effort that way. So unfortunately the most logical move was to shut things down. We will look to potentially archive everything to have as a record of the league to close up shop. To everyone who has been a part of the Elite Football League over the years, thank you!

It's been an awesome 6 years. I'm glad I got the chance to be here since Day 1 and stick around until the end. I'm sad to see the league go, but will cherish all the great memories from my time here. Overall, this is probably my favorite sim league that I've been a part of. I'll miss it very much. Thanks to everyone who has volunteered their time here throughout the years and contributed to make it an awesome league! Best of luck to everyone in their future sim league journeys, hopefully our paths will cross again! Farewell, EFL

A very sad day for myself and I know many many more. So many good memories over my 5 years in the EFL. From joining the Oregon Ducks, winning the NCAA championship with those same Ducks to doing the long build to breaking the Herd’s EFL title drought. Lots of good friends made and good and bad players. Life gets in the way, but won’t forget all the great times in the EFL. Thank you to everyone for all their hard work keeping things going since day 1. You all made our free time that much more fun.

EFL was my first sim league and I had a fantastic time here. Big shoutout to @StackTheRacks12, @Lefty_S and @Caboose30 for being a great group of friends when I joined this league, despite all the ups and downs we had. It truly was a fun time, and was an honor to AD Trenton to a few national championship wins. Also was great to GM LA and then AD DVR for a little bit here at the end. Can't say enough good things about @AW13 and @Jetsqb101 for the amount of work they put in over the last year or so, basically thrown into key leadership roles when we lost old leadership. Their perseverance kept the EFL going as long as it did to this point really. Will miss this league, but won't rule out a comeback in the future if we get enough support to bring things back!

Thanks everyone for the fun we had here the last years This league definitly has some of my best sim league memories, like the Mum-O-Killowe story going from being passed over to HoF, Bryce Larkin scoring the cup winning field goal in the last game of his career. Getting a trophy named after him. Building up the Hades Creek Phalanx legacy together with Shark and Wally. There is just too much greatness here, so thanks everyone that was involved.

It was an honor sir

Was a pleasure being a part of the journey!

Sad to hear it. EFL was definitely one of the league I had the most fun in when I was much more active in sim leagues. Will never forget #WINconsin. Thanks to everyone who made the EFL what it was over the years, as well as those who kept on working hard to keep it afloat. o7

Sad times. I still feel like I only just joined and now it's gone. Lots of memories in just this little time makes this one a tearful goodbye, but I will def never forget winning titles and the community. Glad I was convinced to try this out. See y'all soon.

RIP

It's been an absolute blast sharing this league with everyone.

Will definitely miss this place. Being here since day 1 and GMing Miami to 8 championships including the final one will always be something I remember. I meant so many awesome people here and had so much fun. Hopefully I will see most of you guys around in other sim leagues.

Just got poked about the league closing up shop. So many great memories and friends made here. Can't tag anyone, because I know I will forget some. Between Texas, USC, Hades Creek, Wisconsin and San Fran... Wish everyone well and hope life is being awesome to you <3

All good things come to an end eventually. With the announcement from league management yesterday, this will be the final time the Media will be able to gather everyone to get their final thoughts before the league disbands. Wandon Rolanin and Fandon Solanin join us today to discuss their time in the ECFA and the EFL. They grew up in constant competition, fighting on 2 perennial contenders, Athens and Death Valley, right from the start. The beginning of the end likely started before either players started their careers, but with Death Valley management retiring, the first franchise fell into disarray. A few people tried to revive the legacy of the Rangers, but all fell to inactivity shortly after. Athens however dominated for a long period of time under Numbers. However the energy it took to be an ECFA manager was too much, and eventually the thing that made Athens so good, became the thing that management hated. By this point Fandon and Wandon had made their way to Wisconsin, another team primed to dominate immediately upon their arrival. Cornholio ran a great team, and was very involved in making sure the team succeeded. But, one can only maintain that level of activity and energy for so long, and with nothing changing in the league, and us always being as good as ever, what used to be a place of engagement became a place of waiting for someone else to compete. And with nothing coming up through the ECFA, and no new members joining to fill the ranks of the League leaders who would inevitably move on, more and more weight settles on smaller and smaller ranks. I’ve learned a lot here, a lot of mistakes were made, and a lot we can learn from. The vibes were great, and I hope to see some of these faces around other leagues soon!

Goodbye thanks for everything and good luck in the future with whatever happens next!
