USA FOOTBALL ANNOUNCES ROSTERS FOR 2025 U.S. MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FLAG FOOTBALL NATIONAL TEAMS

Rosters for reigning world champion U.S. National Teams selected from 120 athletes 

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – USA Football, the sport’s governing body responsible for selecting, training and leading the U.S. National Teams for international competition, including the 2028 Olympics, has announced the initial 18-athlete rosters for the 2025 U.S. Men’s and Women’s Flag Football National Teams that will defend their International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Americas Continental Flag Football Championships.  

Last year’s U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Teams both defended their world championship titles in Lahti, Finland against the largest pool of competing international teams ever. The U.S. National Teams won the first-ever Americas Continental Championships in Charlotte, N.C. in 2023. 

This year’s U.S. National Teams will compete in international friendlies and the IFAF Americas Continental Championship later this year. The U.S. Women’s National Team will also compete in The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China. 

“USA Football’s process for establishing an athlete pathway, identifying talent and selecting the U.S. National Teams continues to raise the standard for our program,” said Eric Mayes, USA Football's Managing Director of High Performance and National Teams. “The level of competition at Trials has never been higher. USA Football is very proud to welcome both new and returning athletes into the U.S. National Team family as we prepare to uphold our Gold Medal standard this summer.”  

The U.S. National Teams will hold a Training Camp from May 15-18 at the United States Performance Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. After the Training Camp, U.S. National Team coaches and staff will select the final 12-athlete rosters that will travel to international competitions. The remaining athletes will serve as alternates. USA Football will hold a final training camp in Charlotte in July.  

USA Football’s U.S. National Team rosters feature athletes representing 11 states, including Calif., Colo., Fla., Ga., Kan., La., Md., Ohio, Pa., S.C. and Texas.
