Tampa Bay Inferno

What Tampa Bay Inferno does

Tampa Bay Inferno is a women's professional tackle football organization based in Tampa, Florida, that competes in the Women's Football Alliance (WFA) Pro National division, the league's top competitive tier. The organization fields a roster of approximately 50 athletes and plays home games at Sickles High School in Tampa, with its headquarters at 8870 N. Himes Ave, Tampa, FL. It was founded by Jennifer Moody, a former player with the WFA's Pittsburgh Passion, and runs a short competitive window each year from May through June, with playoffs extending the schedule where applicable. On-field results in 2026 stand at 1-4.

The organization monetizes through multiple small-scale revenue streams: ticket sales at $15 per attendee, tiered per-player sponsorships priced from $100 to $1,000, corporate sponsorship packages from $2,500 to $5,000, foundation donations, and merchandise. A parallel nonprofit entity, the Inferno Women's Football Foundation (EIN#92-3370453), supports fundraising and community programming. Operational and medical support is delivered via a partnership with USF Health, and the Foundation's board draws on executives connected to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Lightning, YMCA of Tampa Bay, and Citibank.

Tampa Bay Inferno has no disclosed external funding, no investors, and no technology or AI infrastructure; it operates as a grassroots, founder-led semi-professional sports property whose commercial model relies on community support, ticket revenue, and a small set of corporate sponsors. Its 2026 competitive performance has been weak, and there is no evidence of geographic expansion, multi-market operations, or digital product development.
