NFL Holds Kenya Talent Tryout Beside Its Third Africa Flag Championship
Five nations, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa, field men's, women's and U13 teams in Nairobi from July 9 to 11.
- Nigeria hosted 2024, Egypt 2025; Nairobi holds the third continental championship, July 9 to 11.
- Five men's, five women's and five U13 co-ed squads of ten each compete.
- July 11 talent workout feeds the NFL Africa pipeline, says SVP Brian Flinn.
Why it matters: The league is not developing African football; it is stocking its own labor supply.
