A momentous clash is on the horizon as ten teams gather at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani for a unique opportunity to participate in the upcoming Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Florida next February.
Taking place in Nairobi this month is the NFL Flag Championships which will showcase players under 12 years old. The championship will provide a platform for the successful squad to represent Kenya in the NFL FLAG International Division. During the All-Star Games, renowned players from the league often make appearances. Being non-contact and perfectly safe, football is considered a popular starting point for young athletes.
The Kenya Federation of American Football (KFAF) has been instrumental in promoting the sport and encouraging its participation among the youth throughout the country. The event follows a week-long training camp arranged by American football’s governing body at the same location. The training saw NFL players of African descent participating and guiding the young athletes. Meanwhile, the popularity of the sport has grown remarkably throughout the country.
A gathering of 29 prospects, aged between 16 and 21 and hailing from several African countries including Cameroon, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, and Senegal, also convened for a three-day training which emulated that of the NFL Combine. Their aim was to showcase their skills and ideally secure opportunities in the NFL International Combine, NFL International Player Pathway Program, and possibly even a slot at the NFL Academy in the United Kingdom. These initiatives are part of the league’s dedicated efforts to enhance opportunities for international athletes to pursue a career in the NFL.
