The Virginia-Carolina Football League was a short lived professional American football minor league formed in 1937 by clubs from Virginia and one team from North Carolina. The VCFL was a regional minor league, that was formed behind the backbone of the Richmond Rebels, an association of players that walked off the Dixie League Richmond Arrows after their salary demand were not answered. The league featured five teams, with one additional team from Roanoke, Virginia, the Roanoke Rassler-Dazzlers, as an independent member.[1]
VCFL attendance was generally in the range of 1,000 to 2,000 fans per game (about half of what the Dixie League) and media attention was insignificant, resulting in league disbandment after only one season.[2]
