A positive development for the GFL was the return of the Paderborn Dolphins and the Ingolstadt Dukes to the first division after competing in lower leagues. However, the Marburg Mercenaries and the Cologne Crocodiles withdrew, which significantly changed the conditions for the teams. The introduction of an overtime rule this season added extra excitement to games, and the reintroduction of interconference play maximized the league's power.
The Potsdam Royals would like to thank their fans and supporters for their continued loyalty and look forward to an exciting continuation of the season in the playoffs. Football enthusiasts can find more information about the games and the GFL Bowl on the official pages of the teams and the league.
