VP Bawumia Hosts American Football Delegation; 9 Young Ghanaians Set For NFL Pro Bowl In US | General Sports

After series of engagements with the NFL (American Football) in the past year about the introduction and development of American Football in Ghana, I was happy to welcome to the Jubilee House, this morning, a delegation from the NFL and 9 young Ghanaians who have been selected by the NFL, through an inter-school competition, to represent Ghana and Africa at the 2022 Pro Bowl in Las Vegas in the United States next week.

I am excited about this development and the opportunity it has brought to these promising youngsters, and many others, who have the potential to become great NFL stars in the future."

I thank the NFL for their decision to select Ghana for the first NFL Flag Football in Africa, as well as their commitment to developing the popular American game in Ghana through schools, to create more opportunities for young Ghanaians.

At the Pro Bowl, which is a prelude to the Super Bowl, players who excel and get selected will have the opportunity of being enrolled into the NFL Academy in the United States.
