The Belfast Trojans are Northern Ireland's most successful American Football Club, having won the Shamrock Bowl an impressive five times, including four consecutive victories from 2012-2015. With a strong recruitment drive and a growing fanbase, the Trojans continue to set the standard for American Football in Ireland.
Trojan Nation,
We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of former Trojan, Will Nnadikawe, who tragically died at just 20 years of age after suffering a heart attack in Spain.
Will was a valued member of our inaugural youth team in 2021 and returned again in 2022.
He will always be remembered as part of the Trojan family.
Former Trojans Youth Team Head Coach, Andy Black, shared these words:
“I was completely floored when I heard the news about Will. I was the Head Coach of the youth team during Will’s time with the Belfast Trojans. Will was a great person, who carried enthusiasm and willingness into everything he did with the Trojans and was a joy to be around and to coach. His example, both on and off the field, in his time with us was a tremendous example to others, and he will forever be a part of the wider Trojan family. All the Trojans, both past and present, are with Will’s family at this very trying time.”
Will’s friends have set up a fundraiser to support his devastated family with repatriation and funeral costs. If you are able, we encourage you to contribute via the link below:

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Will’s family, friends, and teammates.

Our youth team continued a run of fine form yesterday afternoon as they came away with two wins to move to 3-1 for the season! 👏💪
The team got off to a strong start defeating the Rebels 13-6!
The second game of the day ended 30-0 in the Trojans favour after the Mavericks were forced to forfeit due to injury. We wish those Mavericks players affected a speedy recovery!
Youth Blitz will take a break for NFL Dublin, and will return on Sunday 5th of October, for a final Gameday before Playoffs!
Let’s go Trojans!
⚔️🏈
