The Steammates will be part of the Eastern Conference squad that will take on the Western Conference in the traditional LFL, also known as the Lingerie Football League, All-Star game that is scheduled for Saturday, December 4 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The game will be played in Estadio Mateo Flores, the largest national stadium.
Atlanta will return as part of the Eastern Conference again this season along with Chicago and Omaha who will be joined by a new team from the Northeast, most likely a Boston franchise.
While the location of the new franchise in the East has not been announced by the league, LFL Commissioner and founder Mitchell Mortaza posted through social media that “the most successful football city in recent years is about to inherit an LFL team" which led to speculation that the team would be a New England based one.
The Western Conference has already been revamped with the Las Vegas franchise suspending operations on November 2, and the Dallas Desire taking their place joining returning teams Seattle and Los Angeles as well as the recently announced Austin Acoustics who begin play in 2016. The Desire were one of the original league franchises.
