North American Football Confederation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The North American Football Confederation ( German  North American Football Confederation ) was one of the predecessors of CONCACAF . It was founded in 1946 and served as the organization of the North American Football Associations. In 1961, the NAFC merged with the Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF) to form CONCACAF.

In 1947 and 1949, the NAFC held a North American football championship in which the United States, Cuba and Mexico participated. In 1990 and 1991 a similar type of competition was held with the North American Nations Cup (→ North American Football Championship). With the establishment of the Gold Cup , which was held for the first time in mid-1991 and to which the United States, Canada and Mexico are automatically qualified, this competition became obsolete.
