Thank you Nayeli Pozuelos for passionately driving this Nigeria project with Nigerian American Football Association (NAFA) . We are really excited about the impact our collaboration will bring, not just for the game of American Football but for all the added benefits that come with creating new opportunities through sports.

A Milestone for Nigerian Flag Football! 🇳🇬🏈 The Team Nigeria Flag Football Tryout Camp in Lagos and Abuja was a resounding success! Over the past few weeks, we witnessed incredible talent, passion, and dedication from athletes across the country, all vying for a chance to represent Nigeria on the international stage. From high-energy drills to intense scrimmages, the level of competition was outstanding. This camp wasn’t just about selection; it was about building a stronger, united flag football community in Nigeria. A huge shoutout to NAFA, the coaches, organizers, and every athlete who gave their all! The future of flag football in Nigeria is brighter than ever, and we can’t wait to see this team make waves globally. 🌍🔥 #TeamNigeriaFlagFootball #FlagFootball #NAFA #Lagos #Abuja #Huddleway
