Guwakian National Football League

The Guwakian National Football League (GNFL) is a professional football league of 16 teams, equally divided between the Eastern and Western conferences. The GNFL's 14-week regular season runs from early April to late July, with each team playing 12 games. During the regular season, each team plays all 8 teams from their conference and 4 from the opposing.

The GNFL was formed in 1933. Today, the GNFL has the highest average attendance (145,593) of any professional sports league in Guwakiu and is the most popular sports league. The Championship is among the biggest club sporting events in the world and individual Championship games account for many of the most watched television programs in Guwakian history. The GNFL's executive officer is the commissioner, who has broad authority in governing the league.

Teams
The GNFL consists of 16 clubs divided into two conferences of 8 teams in each. During the regular season, each team is allowed a maximum of 53 players on its roster; only 46 of these may be active (eligible to play) on game days. Each team can also have a 10-player practice squad separate from its main roster, but the practice squad may only be composed of players who were not active for at least nine games in any of their seasons in the league. A player can only be on a practice squad for a maximum of three seasons. Every GNFL team is based in Guwakiu. Although no team is based in a foreign country, the Horizon Knights began playing one home game a year at Ghurudai Stadium in Avenska Bay, Vallanmoor in 2009 as part of the GNFL International Series.
