IFAF approves Canadian rules in competitions, use of the Canadian rulebook
VANCOUVER — The International Federation of American Football has approved Canadian rules in international competition and the use of the Canadian Amateur Football rulebook in IFAF-sanctioned global competitions.
Football Canada made the announcement Monday.
“We are thrilled the IFAF recognizes 12-player football supporting the current international tackle rules,” Football Canada president Jim Mullin, who is also the IFAF general secretary, said in a statement.
“As Football Canada continues to work with IFAF, I believe this opens the door for international friendlies and tournaments to be staged in Canada employing the infrastructure communities have invested in for our sport from coast to coast,” Mullin said.
