College football athletes from all over the nation converge in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday for the 2024 Hula Bowl, an all-star showcase game that pits two teams of professional hopefuls against one another. Over 120 players are split into teams Kai and Aina with stars from every level of college football set to take the field at FBC Mortgage Stadium.
Unlike other postseason showcase games, the Hula Bowl is an international affair. The scouting committee invites players from university-level football leagues in the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. International selections in this year’s Hula Bowl include Sean Rae Trotter from Japan’s Kwansei Gakuin University and Rintaro Yamada from Waseda University, located in Tokyo.
The Hula Bowl also caters to professional football leagues outside of the NFL. Scouts from the UFL and Canadian Football League are also in attendance for the week of practices, culminating in Saturday’s game.
The Hula Bowl played its inaugural game, which originally pitted a team of mainland college stars against graduates of Leilehua High School in Hawaii, in 1946 and switched to the all-star format in 1960. The series went dormant in 2008 and wasn’t revived until January 2020, returning to Hawaii’s Aloha Stadium. The Hula Bowl has been played in Orlando since 2022.
