Under Armour All-America High School Football Game Cancelled Due to Health Concerns
Statement Regarding Under Armour All-America Football Game
ORLANDO (Nov. 6, 2020) – The Under Armour All-America High School Football Game annually celebrates the accomplishments of 100 high school seniors, providing a memorable experience that positions them for success as the game’s next generation of superstars.
However, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the 2021 Under Armour All-America Game has been canceled. The safety of participants, coaches, staff and everyone associated with the Under Armour All-America Game is of the utmost importance, as is the well-being of the families, friends, classmates and others connected to this year’s class of All-Americans. The Future 50 Camp and the UA Next Game, which features the nation’s top underclassmen and eighth-grade standouts, respectively, have also been canceled.
Taking part in the Under Armour All-America Game is the pinnacle for high school seniors. While we are disappointed for this year’s class that will miss the physical experience of being in Orlando and participating in the Game, Intersport is working together with ESPN and Under Armour to celebrate these incredible athletes and honor them for their achievements as they prepare for the next steps of their football careers.
Future highlights planned include Under Armour product drops, virtual and social media experiences and integrations with ESPN through a variety of its traditional and social platforms. A complete schedule announcing experiences and broadcast plans will be revealed in the coming weeks.
