The NFL is coming to London once again this October, bringing with it an injection of all-American culture that has been fully embraced by the UK. Among the teams playing are the Atlanta Falcons, visiting from their Georgia home ground of the state’s iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and watching them in action is always an exhilarating day out for adults and children alike.
Arguably the most recognisable song in US college football, ‘Glory, Glory’ is a call to arms for a state fiercely proud of its athletic chops across the board. The home state to three teams in major pro sports – the Falcons of the NFL, the Braves of Major League Baseball, and the Hawks of the NBA – Georgia’s sporting credentials saw it host the Summer Olympics in 1996. Meanwhile, April 2024 will see the prestigious Masters Tournament return to the golf-mad city of Augusta for the 88th year in a row.
