<p>Meanwhile, the NFL has been growing its presence in Ghana, with the Cleveland Browns’ Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah already representing the West African country in the league.</p>

<p>In 2023, Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif also revealed that American football would soon be introduced in schools in Ghana.</p>

<p>According to him, the goal was to encourage Ghanaians who were interested in the sport by taking advantage of the partnership with the NFL.</p>

<p>This came after a contingent from the NFL visited Ghana and organised an event at the Kempinski Hotel to introduce the sport to Ghanaians.</p>

<p>Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was a special guest at this NFL event and his office is championing the introduction of American football in Ghanaian schools.</p>
