Football Announces Historic China Tour

The Drake University football program announced that the Bulldogs will once again make history when they travel to the People's Republic of China in May 2018.

The Bulldogs made international headlines in 2011 when they traveled to Tanzania for the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl, the first intercollegiate game of American football on African soil. The team's trip to China, scheduled for May 22 to June 4, will leverage longstanding University partnerships within that country to provide student-athletes with a rewarding academic and athletic experience. The agenda is expected to include a public celebration of American football, including youth football clinics; volunteer service work; visits to the U.
