Under Armour successfully celebrated the third edition of the UA Next Flag Football Camp with Diana Flores, captain and quarterback of the Mexico Women’s National Flag Football Team, two-time World Games gold medalist, and global ambassador to both the NFL and the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). The high-performance, exclusive event was designed to empower young female athletes on and off the field, offered emerging talent a unique opportunity to train alongside the world's best in an educational, competitive and community-driven environment powered by Under Armour.
"Days like these are a reminder of why I love this sport. Having the opportunity to share the field with young athletes who dream of representing Mexico inspires me to keep competing and pushing to help grow the game. This camp is about more than sport—it’s about showing the next generation that their dreams are possible.”
Captain and Quarterback of the Mexican Women’s National Flag Football Team, and Under Armour Global Ambassador
A Path to the Future: UA Next
As part of Under Armour's commitment to developing young talent in Mexico, the camp’s MVPs Valentina Rico and Andrea Quintanar will have access to future camps organized by UA Next, the brand's grassroots program designed to identify and empower tomorrow's athletes. This initiative reinforces Under Armour's vision of being present not only at the elite level, but during every step that leads to it.
“At Under Armour, we believe talent has no borders or age limits. Flag football in Mexico is experiencing a historic moment, and we want to be part of that growth. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to Mexican athletes: accompanying them from their first steps to the biggest stages in the world.”
To meet the intensity of the field, Under Armour equiped athletes with the highest-performance technology specifically designed for the demands of flag football. The HeatGear ® Elite compression shirt was one of the key pieces at the camp. The garment acts as a second skin, with ultra-lightweight, quick-drying fabric that keeps athletes cool and comfortable during every training session, regardless of temperature.
