Partners & sponsors
The NCFFL is organised by NAFA Sports Foundation, run in partnership with NUGA, endorsed by NPUGA, and supported by Browns Nigeria.
Partnership
The Nigerian University Games Association runs inter-university sport across Nigeria and is a member of FISU, the international university sports federation. Through the partnership, NCFFL campus teams have a route into the university games — starting with the flag football demonstration at the NUGA Games in Jos — and a shared goal: flag football as a NUGA medal sport.
