Xavier Stukes, a distinguished football coach with an impressive 40-year track record, is keen on extending his expertise beyond borders. The seasoned military veteran, known for his commitment to athlete development, has joined forces with Kenyan professionals, president of Kenya American football federation Derrick Odhier and Ken Wambua president of the American football academy, to establish an American football league experience in Kenya.

With an illustrious career highlighted by numerous accolades, including the recent 2023 victories at the Cinco de Mayo International Bowl Championship, American Conference Championship, and Atlantic Coast Football Alliance Championship, Coach Stukes brings a wealth of experience to this international collaboration.

In addition to his coaching prowess, Coach Stukes has made significant contributions off the field. Since 2019, he has served as the President of the Amateur Football Hall of Fame, fostering a positive environment for athletes and enthusiasts alike. Furthermore, as the owner and Head Coach of the Baltimore Rams Youth and Adult Football Organization since 2014, Coach Stukes has secured two Conference Championships and one Division Championship.

Notably, Coach Stukes is not just a coach; he is an EMT, a testament to his dedication to the well-being of athletes. His multifaceted involvement in football extends to ownership, with the Baltimore Rams and the Anne Arundel County Cobras Youth and Adult Football Organization under his leadership since 2023.

Now, Coach Stukes is spearheading the creation of an American football league in Kenya, seeking collaboration with the Kenya American Federation. His vision goes beyond the game, aiming to promote unity and community development for men, women, and children in Kenya.

There’s plans to build a stadium specifically for that sport in a 26 Acre land that will be complete by 2026.

“I believe in the power of football to transcend boundaries and bring communities together. Through this venture in Kenya, we aim to create a lasting impact, fostering a love for the sport and promoting holistic development,” Coach Stukes stated.
