For years, I have watched as a fan of the bowl game and now it’s great to see the event in Orlando! This is a tremendous opportunity for the student-athletes to showcase themselves for scouts but also for fans to see these talented players before they move on to playing throughout all of the professional leagues. Orlando is the perfect location for this college football all-star game, and we look forward to partnering with the great team at the Hula Bowl for years to come,” said Amaury Piedra, the Managing Director of the Caribe Royale Orlando Resort.

About the Hula Bowl

The Hula Bowl is one of the Nation’s Premier College All-Star games. Established in 1946, the game has witnessed collegiate greats as they competed for the roster spots in the NFL, CFL, XFL, and USFL. Many of the athletes have gone on to successful professional careers as players and coaches, as well as sports commentators and analysts. Over the past 78 years, the game has hosted a multitude of Heisman Trophy winners and NFL Hall of Fame players!

The Hula Bowl was historically played in Honolulu, Hawaii, but the closing of Aloha Stadium prompted a move to Orlando, Florida. The state of Florida received the game with a “we are open for business” welcome, and the Hula Bowl is pleased to announce that they have signed a multi-year agreement to present the game at the University of Central Florida at FBC Mortgage Stadium.

The Hula Bowl is more than a game, it is an opportunity for college athletes to engage in the most important interview of their career. Each year, the Hula Bowl assembles hundreds of professional scouts from the NFL, CFL, XFL, and USFL all looking for the next player who can contribute to their team’s success!

Over the past two years, 96% of the Hula Bowls’ roster has gone onto opportunities in professional football. There are currently 70 players on NFL rosters and their respective practice squads and over 40 players on XFL, CFL, and USFL teams. The Hula Bowl is truly a path to play professionally!

“We are excited to be back for year three in Orlando, Florida!” Said Nick Logan Chairman of the Hula Bowl.
