History

The UIFA was founded in 2016 and is currently run by team owners Molly Pitney (co-owner of the Ohio Boom) and Lawerance Peters (owner/head coach of the Wisconsin Aviators and current head coach of the Coralville Chaos of American Indoor Football). All teams play there games, home and away, in the Fall season as opposed to most arena/indoor league who play in the Spring and Summer. Teams play in indoor soccer arenas, with the exception of the Iowa Power, who play in an arena, the Five Flags Center.

The most recent championship game of record was on January 28, 2025, with the 2024 UnitedIFA Bowl where the Wisconsin Aviators defeated the Knoxville Bandits 60-39 to win the championship. [2]
