The NFL is slowly but surely becoming a global game.
Players from different countries are interested in football, and there are many fans from different countries.
But for the NFL to continue expanding its game, it would make sense to have camps across the world.
Well, one spot where they did just finish up a camp was in Africa.
The NFL sent a few players to Kenya where they held a camp for kids interested in playing football.
According to NFL Africa, the camp was a major success, and the NFL hopes to have many more in the future.
NFL Africa Camp 2023 is over but this is just the start for these projects. Sky is the limit!

Giving these young players proper coaching should help them reach their goals.
These types of camps were not something that existed years ago.
But, you never know which star player might emerge from one of these camps into an NFL player.
According to NFL.com, there are over 125 players of African descent.
Former Giants legend Osi Umenyiora was the one that spearheaded this event and created the opportunity for many African players.
You can assume the NFL would love to keep this event going every offseason.
Many African-born NFL players would love to go back to their roots and help out kids that are similar to them.
Also, introducing flag football in many different countries is a great way to expand the game.
Kids can learn the rules of football, without having to deal with physical contact.
The NFL is the most popular sport in America, and it is starting to become a world-wide game.
