The eight teams:

Barcelona Dragons
Berlin Thunder
Frankfurt Galaxy
Hamburg Sea Devils
Stuttgart Scorpions
Cologne Centurions
Leipzig Kings
Panthers Wroclaw


6 German teams, 1 Polish team and 1 Catalan team.

I don't know the level of the fans in Poland, I can talk about the fans in Catalonia and in Spain.
Despite the fact that the NFL Europe audiences in Barcelona were quite acceptable (20 years ago!) I doubt very much that today we can fill a stadium of 25,000 people.

Will people in Germany fill 20-30,000-seat stadiums? I think that there will be the key to success.

But with the COVID-19 pandemic I think the business will be focused on television audiences...

I don't see anything clear. I hope I'm wrong.

In Poland there was a peak in the number of people attending games in 2012. The last bowls played before the COVID used to gather around 5000 people, but I feel there is an increasing number of people interested in american football. There has been some issues related to the changes in the leagues, but I think we're ready to overcome these.
Just my thoughts

In Germany there rre quite few fans not willing to support semi pro GFL football, hoping for something more professional structures. And overall Germany is quite a Football market based on NFL numbers. Maybe this was the driver to create so many Germany based teams. I doubt someone can do it better than the NFL in the 90s, with all their resources.

Exactly, if the project were supported by the NFL I would have hope for the future.
Individual people's projects, even if they have a lot of money, are usually temporary whims. Today Football, tomorrow Horse Racing and the day after tomorrow anything else.

4 import players from the USA are allowed per team. 2 in offense and 2 in defense.

... at the same time on the field, like in GFL, or in the team?

AS i understood it, it is 4 US players no matter the position, but inly 2 per team at the same time on the field. So it should lead to 2 in O and 2 in D, but it is not an obligation. But maybe I am wrong.

Well, it seems that we have schedule for this summer:

Schedule ELF

I'm still wondering if this will be good for European Football and specifically for the GFL, the only League in Europe with a certain following from German fans.

Edit.
Any official statement from the GFL about it?
