France - New Zealand -- 7th Place

In 2009 the world came to Canton Ohio. Football teams from around the world competed for the IFAF Junior World Championship. The teams consisted of some of the best players that had just graduated high school. Teams from New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and the United States practiced and lived in Canton for a few weeks before the games at Walsh University. The games were held at Fawcett Stadium early July.
