Canadian football
Three-down northern variant
Canadian football is a variant of gridiron football played in Canada, distinguished from American football by a larger field, twelve players per side instead of eleven, three downs instead of four, and other rule differences.
The Canadian Football League (CFL) is the sport's professional organization: The Grey Cup is Canadian football's championship game.
