Editorial status
These are not official IFAF awards. They are Ljubljana Frogs editorial selections based on a combination of tournament statistics and game film.
How the Ljubljana Frogs All-Star teams were selected
Selection methodology
We looked beyond raw touchdown totals and considered production, consistency, versatility, defensive impact and what players showed against strong opposition.
What the selection covers
Each All-Star team includes a quarterback, three receiving roles and a center on offense, plus one rusher and four defensive backs on defense.

Why health and accident insurance matters for athletes
Injury and illness can change a tournament
Some athletes missed tournament games because of injury or illness. An All-Star selection can only assess what a player was able to show on the field, so availability inevitably affects the sample that can be evaluated. For athletes who travel internationally, appropriate health and accident insurance can be an important part of preparation. Coverage depends on the individual policy and circumstances. We are thankful to our sponsor KR Z NAMI for supporting Ljubljana Frogs and providing insurance solutions, including health and accident coverage. The goal is to help athletes access support and return to sport when medically appropriate.
