The Italian Football League season is in full swing and this year, the country’s nine first-division teams are chasing a unique prize. In October, the IFL raised eyebrows across Europe when they announced that the league’s annual championship game, the Italian Bowl, would be held outside of the country for the first time in history.

Instead of in Rome or Bologna, the 2023 title will be awarded on Saturday, July 1 at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio – over 4,600 miles away and a six-hour time difference from their primary fan base.
