NFL seeks to break into Africa with Kenya competition⁣
⁣
American Football's NFL came to Kenya this weekend for its latest competition on the African continent as it seeks to win converts to the sport.⁣
US sports have increasingly sought to break into the African market, with the NBA launching a high-profile Basketball Africa League in 2019, based in Rwanda.⁣
⁣
Recent days saw a third annual flag football competition staged by the National Football League (NFL) in Africa -- a non-contact version of the sport that has grown in popularity around the world and will make its Olympics debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.⁣
The three-day competition saw Egypt emerge as winners of the men's contest against teams from Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, while the women's contest was won by Nigeria.⁣
The event also included a talent-spotting session with NFL scouts, looking for the next star to join the league.⁣
Nigeria has already earned itself a place at the flag football world championships in Dusseldorf, Germany in August -- where it hopes to qualify for the Olympics.⁣
The NFL has expanded internationally in recent years, playing a handful of its games in Europe and South America.⁣
