The World Football League was a short-lived American football league that played in 1974 and part of 1975. Although the league’s proclaimed ambition was to bring American football onto a worldwide stage the farthest the WFL reached was placing a team – the Hawaiians – in Honolulu Hawaii. The league folded midway through its second season in 1975. A new minor football league began play as the World Football League in 2008 after acquiring the rights to its trademarks and intellectual property.
