GB Lions Announce European Championship squad


Head Coach Riq Ayub and his team are pleased to announce the players who will represent Great Britain at the European Championships in Frankfurt from 24 – 31 July.



Fred Boyle: London Blitz and University of Hertfordshire graduate.
Players have been selected for the final squad from nearly twenty different British Senior teams, many of whom graduated up from the ranks of the British University team system – a major pipeline of talent for the sport in the UK.


Coach Ayub commented: “We have a very honest and hard working squad who’ve grabbed every opportunity to improve. We will give everything as a team, and nothing is impossible.”


In the first rounds of the Championships the GB Lions will take on France on 27 July at Stadion Wetzlar, followed by Sweden at the Brita Arena in Wiesbaden on 29 July.  

For those teams who make it though, the finals take place on 31 July at the Commerzbank Arena, Frankfurt.


The GB Lions Senior team is just one the elements that makes up the BAFA national programme, providing athletes with the opportunity to represent Great Britain in international competitive American Football across different disciplines and age ranges.
