The Ghana American Football Federation (GAFF), the governing body for American football and Non-Contact flag football in Ghana, embarked on a training camp journey to Johannesburg, South Africa, commencing on February 16, 2024.

The primary objective of this camp was to prepare for upcoming competitions, including the Andia Bowl and King Bowl tournaments scheduled to be held in Croatia and the Netherlands later this year. Both national federations secured official invitations to represent Africa in these prestigious tournaments after successfully qualifying.

During their stay in South Africa, the Ghanaian team actively engaged in bilateral discussions with their South African counterparts, focusing on strategies for the joint development of flag and contact football in their respective countries. This collaboration marks a significant milestone as it is the first of its kind between the two nations.

Upon the conclusion of the training camp, representatives from the Ghana American Football Federation held meetings with the President and executive members of the South African Federation in Benoni, Johannesburg. The discussions aimed to strengthen ties and foster mutual growth within the sport.

Building on their participation in the NFL flagship program in Florida, USA, earlier this year, GAFF remains committed to further developing American football across various age groups, including U14, U16, U19, and the senior team.

The Ghanaian delegation comprised nine members, including seven athletes and two officials. The entire trip was sponsored by the Ghana American Football Federation, with financial support from Northern Rok Limited and MC-Bbphylls Protocol Consult.
