CAAFA Central Asian American Football Association Bishkek Challenge 2007

Recap

The Central Asian American Football Association was established by Tom Kelly in April 2002 after he approached the American University of Kyrgyzstan about setting up a team. Following a couple of Flag Football games versus KIMEP from Almaty in Kazakhstan, a team was set up in Bishkek: BARS Leopards who after playing a game amonst themselves in 2004 were able to play KIMEP from 2005 to 2008 in a series of Challenge Games following the arrival of more kit from Tom Kelly in USA.

In 2007 a second team was set up in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan: Bishkek Golden Eagles and from 2007 to Spring 2008 the two Bishkek teams also played Challenge Games between the teams. Golden Eagles won the first Challenge Game in May 2007.
