The 내셔널 풋볼 컨퍼런스 (NFC) is one of the two conferences in the 내셔널 풋볼 리그 (NFL), the premier professional American football league in the United States. Established in 1970, the NFC consists of 16 teams divided into four divisions: 동부, 중부, 남부, and 서부. Each team competes for a chance to reach the 슈퍼볼, the championship game of the NFL. The NFC is known for its competitive teams and storied rivalries. Some of the most successful franchises in NFL history, such as the 그린베이 패커스 and 샌프란시스코 포티나이너스, are part of the NFC. The conference plays a crucial role in determining the overall champion of the NFL each season.
