The game, part of the IFAF European Second Division, will also allow the Aragonese public to enjoy a sport that continues to grow in Spain. Admission will be free, and the Aragonese American Football Federation (FAFA) has invited everyone in Aragon to attend the game and support the national team in this important fixture.

In addition to the venue, the Spanish squad will also include representatives from Aragon. Zaragoza-born Juan Baró, who plays as a wide receiver (WR), and Alonso Muñoz, a defensive back (DB), will be part of the team seeking a victory over Georgia that would allow it to mix with Europe’s elite.

TRIBUTE TO THE UME

Beyond what happens on the field, the event will also include a tribute to the Military Emergency Unit (UME) for its public service work and, especially, for its intervention during the wildfires that affected the area around Jaca last summer.
