The ZFL (Zamastan Football League) is the preeminent professional football league in Zamastan. The ZFL has 24 franchises divided into two conferences with twelve teams each, the Vintage Football Conference (VFC) and the Classic Football Conference (CFC). After a 16-game regular season, each conference sends the top four teams to the ZFL Playoffs, a single-elimination tournament, which eventually culminate in the league's championship game known as the Teal Cup. Nationwide, the ZFL obtains the second-highest television ratings among major sports, outpaced by the ZSL. Watching ZFL games on television on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons has become a common routine for many Zamastanians during the football season.

Trophies and awards

The Jaiden Day Trophy

The current trophy of the ZFL is the Jaiden Day Trophy. The Teal Cup trophy was officially renamed in 1958 after Jaiden Day, who as head coach led the Coalmont Gophers to victories in the first two Teal Cups. Unlike the previous trophies, a new Jaiden Day Trophy is issued to each year's champion, who maintains permanent control of it. Jaiden Day trophies are made out of sterling silver and are worth ℤ200,000. Additionally, each player on the winning team as well as coaches and personnel are awarded Teal Cup rings to commemorate their victory. The winning team chooses ring design, with the ZFL mandating the Teal Cup logo be on at least one side of the ring.
