History

[edit]

The New Cavalry, American Indoor Football (2026)

[edit]

American Indoor Football co-owner Dominic Montero, also owner of the Cedar Rapids River Kings and Coralville Chaos, announced the founding and addition of the expansion Wyoming Cavalry to the league to begin play in the 2026 season. The team would be based in Gillette, Wyoming, and are expected to play their home games at Wyoming Center at the CAM-PLEX in Gillette replacing the since-folded Gillette Mustangs, formerly of Champions Indoor Football. In an interview with KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, representatives with Cedar Rapids and Coralville originally indicated plans to revive the Mustangs,[1] but to avoid legal challenges (Steven Titus, the chairman of Arena Football One, owns the rights to that name), opted to adopt the Cavalry name instead with the Mustang colors of sage green and Vegas gold. The official website and Facebook profile[2] were launched in March 2025. The official announcement was released on March 28, 2025, and a press conference is set for May 1, 2025, in Gillette.[3]

The Cavalry are named after the original Wyoming Cavalry franchise that played in several leagues including the original Indoor Football League in 2000, National Indoor Football League from 2001 to 2007, the then-American Indoor Football Association (now the AIF) from 2008 to 2010 and finally the current Indoor Football League from 2011 to 2014 before folding. The new Cavalry team is an expansion team that has no direct ties to the original franchise.

The Cavalry would become the fourth franchise to join the existing AIF league with Cedar Rapids, Coralville and the West Michigan Ironmen for 2026. (The Pennsylvania Union would join shortly after.)
