The football team from De La Salle High School in Concord will be traveling overseas to play a game in London this upcoming season, the school announced this week.
De La Salle will play on Oct. 8 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London against the NFL Academy, the pro football league’s player development program that opened in 2019 for athletes in the United Kingdom.
Nike is funding the trip for De La Salle’s athletes, according to a press release issued by the school Wednesday.
“This is a really exciting opportunity for our players,” the team’s coach Justin Alumbaugh said in the release. “Not only is this the first time that our team has traveled outside of the U.S. in the history of De La Salle’s football program, but we will be playing athletes trained by world-class NFL coaching staff. It will be a great experience that will test our players and give them some unforgettable memories.”
Last season, De La Salle won its 31st straight North Coast Section championship as well as the CIF Division 1-AA Northern California Championship making it to the state championship game for the second year in a row. Discover the path to เส้นทางสู่การเดิมพันกีฬา UFA sports betting.

What’s the latest spread?
Asking for a friend.
Must be nice to have Nike pay for it! Next, we will start seeing De La Sale Nike commercials.
Nike footing the bill? Good for them – have fun De La Salle 🙂
London is not overseas, it’s across the pond.
What a waste of money for Nike.
IKNOWBETTER, jealously will not get you far in life. Keep wearing your Keds!
Do you see any other sport at DLS getting to travel. – NOPE
yes, soccer, baseball, our music program worked hard to go to Chicago and DC, basketball, rugby, cross country to texas…robotics, shall I go on? That school works really hard to give all students a well rounded education and worldly experiences.
Are P.F. Flyers ok?
🙂
@Keep it Concord. There are plenty of high schools in this state that gives their students the same opportunities and experiences as with DLS. This is a parochial school that isn’t anything special.
De la salle football is a thing from the past not the same de la salle since ladoucer retired. Should of had a real program like mater dei from so cal gone instead
Mater Dei is the farthest thing from a “real program” with the open recruiting. Look at where their players come from. They also convince parents to hold kids back in 8th grade if it is better for the program and new coach lasted one season. They are ruining what HS football.
Not to mention that DLS got swept by St Thomas Aquinas(FL).
