Oh man! 2028 won’t get here fast enough!
At the NFL‘s Spring League Meeting, franchise owners overwhelmingly passed a resolution Tuesday with a clean 32-0 sweep that will permit players in the league to try out for the Team USA flag football squad that will be competing in the 2028 Summer Olympics. The United States hosts the international event in Los Angeles.
One player maximum from each NFL roster will be permitted to compete, with each team’s designated international player also being allowed to participate for their nation. (RELATED: Simeon Rice Breaks Down Crying As Bucs Announce Huge News. NFL’s Delay Caused His Dead Parents To Miss Highest Honor)
“I think this news represents a great opportunity for the sport, for the NFL,” said Commissioner Roger Goodell while speaking with the media Tuesday following the news, per NFL.com. “It’s truly the next step in making NFL football and football a global sport for men and women of all ages and all opportunities across the globe. We think that’s the right thing to do, and this is a big step in accomplishing that.”
“We are now on a global stage, which is exciting,” said NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent, via NFL.com. “We can truly bring America’s greatest game on the global stage.”
10-player rosters will be selected by each nation’s National Olympic Committee.
