Atlanta rapper Gunna is set to captain a team in the NFL’s Flag Football Game on YouTube: London Edition. The 7-on-7 matchup will be held at the Copper Box Arena on October 11, the day before the New York Jets face the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game will stream live at 7 p.m. BST (2 p.m. ET) exclusively on YouTube.
Gunna will team up with Mexican flag football star Diana Flores, who will play quarterback, and face off against NFL great Chad Ochocinco. His squad also includes YouTube creator Deestroying, Khaby Lame, Complex’s Speedy Morman, Jamie Laing, Sam Thompson, and Nella Rose.
The opposing team will be led by British rapper Aitch, who will captain a roster that features quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick alongside Adam W, Phoebe Schecter, Ashlea Klam, Tommy Fury, SV2, Mabel, and Jay Cinco.
“I’m ready to bring my energy to the field and lead my team,” Gunna said. Aitch added that being named captain was an honor, noting the growing popularity of American football in the U.K. Tickets for the game are available through Ticketmaster for under £15.
