Some NFL players have expressed interest in playing for the U.S. flag football team if the sport is included in the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, an NFL executive told Reuters.
On Monday, LA28 organisers formally asked that flag football for both the men's and women's competitions as well as four other sports be added to the event.Final approval of the programme is expected to come when the International Olympic Committee meets later this month in Mumbai.
"Certainly there are more discussions to be had around that possibility," NFL executive vice president Peter O'Reilly said in a recent interview. On the women's side, Mexico dominated the U.S. in the final behind the sensational play of breakout star quarterback Diana Flores, who was named MVP.
