A remarkable piece of American sports history. 🇺🇸🏈

Nearly 50 years after the first international game in Tokyo, American football continues to expand its reach, open new markets, and strengthen the connections that support U.S. diplomacy abroad.

A Monument to the American Spirit.

The Military Triumphal Arch will honor the heroes who gave everything for our nation - a monumental tribute to America’s first 250 years & a symbol of the next 250.

A legacy of freedom. A future without limits.

American leadership protects the treasures of world history.  🇺🇸

Preserving cultural heritage across the Indo-Pacific, Middle East & North Africa, and Central Asia strengthens U.S. diplomatic ties by uniting museum leaders, countering illicit trade, and protecting historic treaianArt Director Chase Robinson to talk about more opportunities for preservation.

Learning from the Minnesota Vikings and NFL Films is a fairly compelling professional development itinerary. I suspect the application process was competitive.

Great to see Shernice Henry of the New Zealand American Football Federation making the most of it.

Shernice is in the he Global Sports Mentoring Program’s Women in Sports exchange. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, in partnership with espnW and the University of Tennessee’s Center for Sport, Peace, and Society, the five-week program pairs international sports leaders with American executives to build leadership skills and develop practical plans to expand opportunities through sport.

Earlier this year, our Embassy joined New Zealand’s first NFL Flag Nationals in Wellington, supported by the NFL and the Las Vegas Raiders. Shernice’s exchange adds another dimension to that connection: learning how leading American sports organizations operate and bringing those lessons home.

With flag football set to make its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028, there’s plenty to build toward. It’s encouraging to see Shernice helping create more opportunities for Kiwis to get into the game.

The finer points of American football may still require some translation. The ambition needs none. 🇺🇸🇳🇿
