The London Warriors are an American football club based in Thornton Heath, London, England. They compete in the BAFA National League Premier Division South, the highest level of British American football. They operate from Selhurst Sports Arena and were formed in 2007 as the London Cobras, but changed their name to the Warriors a couple of years later.[1]
The Warriors are one of the most successful American football teams in the United Kingdom, and since the BAFANL replaced the now redundant British American Football League, the Warriors have been the most dominant team under the League's new guise. They are seven-time BritBowl champions, with their most recent victory coming against the Bristol Aztecs in BritBowl XXXVI, and have won twelve divisional titles in their seventeen-year history. The Warriors have had several different notable players, including former NFL wide receivers Marvin Allen and Vernon Kay. In 2014, Warriors player Efe Obada moved to the Dallas Cowboys and is now a defensive end for the Washington Commanders.
