American football
 

The final game was the most dramatic game we played so far

so there is american style football in uruguay? is it all uruguay or are there teams from other south american countries you know of?

In Uruguay they play with NCAA rules. The teams in the LUFA are all from Uruguay. But there is a national team that plays against national teams from other countries in South America, where they have their own leagues.


Here is a highlight from a Uruguay vs Argentina game:

That's great, i didn't realize there was any interest in U.S. style football in south america.
I hope it catches on big all over the continent.

In Argentina, there's the American Football Argentina (FAA) league. American football has been spreading internationally for quite some time.

According to USA Football’s official site, American football first became international in 1896 in Canada, then 1936 in Japan, followed by Europe in 1976. Argentina got in on the action in 2007 along with football organisations from the US, Canada, Panama, Uruguay, Mexico and Guatemala, it became part of the new Pan-American Federation of American Football (PAFAF).
