NFL owners vote to allow players to participate in 2028 Olympics

On Tuesday, NFL owners approved a vote permitting athletes to participate in the flag football event at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The decision follows background plans to include flag football, a non-contact variant of American football, as a new Olympic sport.
The Olympic tournament will feature six men’s teams of 10 players each, with rosters selected by national federations and one NFL player per team allowed.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell noted that adding flag football to the Olympics has generated significant enthusiasm from NFL athletes eager to represent their nations on an international platform.
This vote could enable a potential NFL 'Dream Team,' boosting the sport's global growth and providing players a unique international competition opportunity in 2028.
