The Duke NFL football

The UN has launched United Nations American Football Conference (UNAFC). This sustainable programme provides a solid peacebuilding foundation including funding and managerial support for American football teams and leagues in the Balkan region and now Ukraine. UNAFC builds upon the success of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) mission from the 1990's and current operations in Ukraine. For 2025, UNAFC has partnered with the National Football League and Kyiv Capitals QB, Maksym Cherepivskyi of the Ukrainian League of American Football (ULAF) to sponsor a humanitarian medical support fundraiser benefiting the Ukrainian Army and the ULAF players.
