PATHWAY TO GOLD

Through our National Team program, we provide a pathway to the highest level of the game for both tackle and flag with an eye on a gold medal. As football’s governing body, USA Football is the sole US member of the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). USA Football is recognized by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and we are proud to join IFAF and the NFL to advocate for flag football’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games.

Our National Team athletes and coaches represent the highest level of the competition and the standard of excellence for our game. They represent the U.S in international competitions like IFAF Continental & World Championships, the World Games, and, hopefully, the 2028 Olympics.
