After decades of failed attempts to make a football league permanently take root in San Antonio, yet another venture is giving it a try. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the revived Continental Football League (CFL) announced the San Antonio Toros will be one of the teams to participate in the league\u2019s inaugural season, which gets underway next summer.<\/p>\n

As of press time, the league didn\u2019t respond to the Current\u2019s questions about which local stadium the team will play in or which other cities are hosting teams.\u00a0However, a press release stated that at least two other franchises \u2014\u00a0the Ohio Valley Ironmen and the Austin-based Texas Syndicates \u2014 also are part of the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is simple \u2014 to give San Antonio a team that reflects its spirit,\u201d said Joshua Mair, managing partner and team president for the Toros, via an emailed statement. \u201cWe\u2019re not just reviving a name. We\u2019re reviving an attitude \u2014 one that says the city deserves professional football that belongs to the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Toros are a relaunch of the team by the same name that played in San Antonio between 1965 and 1969. That franchise operated under an earlier iteration of the Continental Football League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

News of the Toros\u2019 arrival comes mere weeks after the United Football League\u2019s San Antonio Brahmas announced their relocation to a different market<\/a>. The Brahmas said the Alamodome was too big, adding that the league is now focused on smaller venues.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Toros will be the city\u2019s third minor-league football team in less than a decade. The Alamodome also hosted the San Antonio Commanders in 2019<\/a>, before the Alliance of American Football suddenly folded that same year.<\/p>\n
