US EditionNFL owners to consider resolution allowing players to participate in flag football at the Olympics
- Next week in Minnesota, NFL owners will review a resolution regarding the participation of currently contracted players in the flag football event debuting at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
- At least 24 of the 32 team owners must approve the resolution to permit the league to begin discussions with the NFL union, representatives from the Olympic Committee, and relevant sports governing organizations regarding the participation of NFL players.
- The league has actively promoted flag football to increase youth involvement, expand opportunities for women, and played a key role in securing the sport’s debut at the 2028 Olympics with competitions featuring both male and female athletes.
- The proposal limits Olympic selection to one player per NFL team plus the designated international player, provides injury protection and salary cap credits, and mandates medical and field standards.
- If approved, allowing NFL players, including stars like Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill, could increase flag football's global appeal and advance league interests in fan engagement and expansion.
