NEW YORK (AP) - NFL Europe's 15th season will begin April 14 with a rematch of the 2006 World Bowl featuring defending champion Frankfurt hosting Amsterdam, which won the 2005 title.

Opening day also includes Hamburg hosting Cologne, and Berlin visiting Rhein.

The regular season for the six teams will conclude on June 16, and the World Bowl will be played at Frankfurt's Commerzbank Arena on June 23.

``It is great for our first game as reigning World Bowl champions to be in front of our own fans and against the team we beat to win the title,'' said Galaxy coach Mike Jones. ``It will be an exciting occasion. Amsterdam is always one of the best teams in the league and will provide our new squad with a tough test.''
