GPFL Club Launch

The GPFL club launch is the most important milestone, so far, for the GPFL.

So…here they are. The 20 inaugural GPFL clubs! We are proud to reveal the names and logos of the clubs that will take part in the very first season of this new global phenomenon.

“We have been sitting on this while a certain other football event has played out in Qatar,” said GPFL founder, Dwayne Barlow. “After all, we hope the GPFL will be known as an organisation of great global citizens, so we didn’t want overshadow the FIFA World Cup.

“But now, we can let the GPFL of the leash. I’m so pleased to reveal our clubs at our official GPFL club launch. I hope fans in our host cities are excited as I am, now they know the name of the clubs they’ll be watching.
