The 2024 NFL London Games had some incredible stand out moments – the dramatic game sealing interception from the Vikings, a historic first punt return TD outside of the US at Wembley and an iconic English tea drinking Chicago Bears celebration. But beyond the field the NFL reached further than ever before, including stories that we at Hanover Sport proudly delivered.   Just days before the final game, the Prince of Wales visited a local community event hosted by the NFL Foundation UK. The organisation, now in its third year, tackles inequality faced by young people in the UK and is the first international NFL charitable arm. The NFL are rightly proud of the Foundation work and showcasing it to Prince William was an iconic moment that delivered blanket and trending coverage, all which was bang on message.     The NFL Academy, based in Loughborough, provides international student athletes aged 16-19 with pathways in further education and a route to play NCAA College Football in the US. Hanover Sport were tasked with building excitement for their game against De La Salle, where Jacksonville Jaguars legend Maurice Jones Drew learned his trade. We hosted over 40 media at the game and connected the up and coming athletes to over 10 media titles, who outlined the inspiration and life-changing opportunities the NFL Academy was providing them. This secured coverage in some of the biggest publications, including an in depth hero feature in the Guardian showcasing the journey for the next generation of superstars.    Some of those superstars could well end up representing nations at the next Olympic games in Los Angeles. NFL Flag, the league’s non-contact youth flag football programme, is currently played in 650 schools across the UK, by more than 60,000 participants. Our role is to educate media and audiences by amplifying the visiting team’s flag owned activations in the country and celebrating the inaugural NFL Flag Continental Series Europe at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The buzz of Flag is growing, helped by broader coverage and under the skin in depth interviews.    The London Games always brings an American Football festival vibe to town but beyond the glitz it is the opportune time to amplify the really important work the NFL does throughout the year. Our proudest work in collaboration with NFL UK and Ireland is often around growing the game and creating real change and 2024 was by the best so far.

We are incredibly proud of you Dame Tracey Crouch. This is a very well-deserved recognition of your significant contribution to sport. Your unwavering commitment to the industry is truly admirable, and we are honoured to have you as a member of the Hanover Communications team.

With the teams in town, national and lifestyle opportunities were secured including, Evening Standard, Men’s Health, SheerLuxe and The Guardian, to broaden the fanbase.   The celebration of NFL culture is what draws fans from all over the world to London, and through fan events put on by Vikings and Jets journalists from a range of national, lifestyle and American football titles attended. On top of this interviews were facilitated with alumni talent for youth titles - Channel 4.0, Mixtape Madness, Street Interviews - alongside features in key sport titles like, Sky Sports.   Once Game Day arrived the focus is on delivering a first class media experience working hand-in-hand with the NFL UK and also US representatives. This includes media and press conference management, as well as liaising with key partners, including talkSPORT for celeb interviews to capture the excitement from the day.     The team get to use their passion for sport and cultural storytelling to deliver content and coverage to introduce new audiences to the sport. There are two more games to go, and the team cannot wait to continue driving excitement for the sport across all types of media. #NFLUK #NFLLondonGames
