USA Football is the sole U.S. member of the IFAF, the international governing body for the sport of American football. The International Bowl® hosts IFAF member federations and their sponsored teams in a series of international friendly flag football games outside formal international competitions where results do not affect a team's standings in any league, tournament, or IFAF ranking.
As the official National Governing Body, USA Football is the only organization that selects, trains, and leads the U.S. National Teams in international competitions, including the Olympics.
The International Bowl® is part of USA Football's Summer Series, featuring the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams in Olympic-style exhibition games as a warm-up for international championships.
U.S. National Teams consist of the country's top flag football athletes selected from the National Team Pathway to represent the program's gold standard in global competition.
Every National Team journey begins with a dream, and the Stars and Stripes Fund brings those dreams to life by supporting Team USA Football and the National Development Program.
This fund powers every step of the journey, from trials and training camps to domestic and international competition, while opening doors for more athletes to chase their Olympic dreams.
Together we’re building more than a team—we’re building the future.
