American Football Touches Down in UAE

The excitement of a big sporting event, like the Super Bowl, attracts attention from all over the country, and even around the globe.

Half a world away in the United Arab Emerites, also known as the UAE, American football is also making a cultural play. The UAE is located in the southeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf, and borders Saudi Arabia and Oman.

Amir Daftari reports from the capital city of Abu Dhabi, and shows us the growth of American football in the Middle East.
