It’s the second such game against a school from Florida, as the NFL Academy and Nike announced back in the spring that the team will play Nov. 8 in Munich, Germany against an All-Star team as part of the NFL’s expansion to grow American football.
Last season, NFL Academy’s all-star team faced IMG Academy’s White team, with the former picking up a 31-14 victory. The win was the first for the London-based academy against a team from the United States. Now the NFL Academy will look to notch win No. 2 when they take on Edgewater.
