In 2006, only one National Federation is regonised by the EFAF: The SAFV (Schweizericher America Football Verband), which is divided into two leagues: A National A League (LNA) and a National B League (LNB).

 in Switzerland has only 11 clubs (5 in LNA and 6 in LNB). Due to a lack of structures and comprehension of the needs of smaller teams a regional league was created. The NSFL saw the day in 2004. 6 Teams took part during the first season in 2005 in 2006 two new teams joined the league. Every year new clubs are created or older clubs are able to survive thanks to the NSFL system. Unfortunately the National Federation SAFV does not see the positive work that is done by the NSFL. The NSFL in no means wishes to replace the SAFV. The NSFL is working on a more regional level. The SAFV at the moment refuse to any discussions with the NSFL. The NSFL has in the past met the SAFV; they have brought certain modifications following the SAFV request. One day maybe they will decide to sit at the table and talk with the NSFL or maybe the SAFV clubs might do it.

The different NSFL tournaments put in place do not forbid NSFL teams to participate in the National Championship (SAFV). This is the case of the Fribourg Cardinals (LNB) and the Geneva Seahawks (LNA).
